Allen produced all the visuals for avant-garde German band Kraftwerk's album Electronic Cafe, including this award-winning video. It was seen by millions on music video television channels such as MTV and was also exhibited in museums and art galleries internationally, gaining substantial recognition with both artistis and popular audiences. It won awards in Canada, Japan, Monte Carlo and West Germany. The film starred virtual mannequins that Allen brought to life with cutting-edge software developed to emulate facial features and expressions. Musique Non Stop reflects Allen's interest in movement and the incorporation of human elemants into computers. It also engenders thoughts about how computers and technology interact with humans and mesh with society general. These themes pervade Allen's work, extending to her more recent explorations such as Bush Soul (1999), an interactive virtual reality environment that employs a force-feedback joystick to connect one's physical body and virtual soul through a haptic, tactile interface.
