Page "Zoo TV Tour" Paragraph 9

By August, a prototype of a single Trabant for the lighting system was completed, with the innards gutted and retrofitted with lighting equipment, and a paint job on the exterior.

Williams spent most of the second half of 1991 designing the stage.

Owens was insistent that her ideas be given priority, as she thought that men had been making all of U2's creative decisions and were using male-centred designs.

With bassist Adam Clayton's support, she recruited visual artists from Europe and the United States to arrange images for use on the display screens.

These people included video artist Mark Pellington, photo / conceptual artist David Wojnarowicz, and satirical group Emergency Broadcast Network, who digitally manipulate sampled image and sound.

Pellington envisaged a collection of text phrases into the visual displays, inspired by his working with artist Jenny Holzer.

The idea was first put into practice in the video for Achtung Babys lead single, " The Fly ".

Bono devised and collected numerous phrases during development of the album and the tour.

Additional pre-recorded video content was created by Eno, Williams, Kevin Godley, Carol Dodds, and Philip Owens.
