 nm,
In light of  their remarkable work on vision, video and voyeurism, d+s were
approached very early about doing sets for Sliver (they also had a distant
connection to an early art director).  Typical Hollywood story, the show
bizzers met with them, pumped them and then mysteriously disappeared.  What
you saw in that drivel had nothing to do with d+s (who would, in any case,
be the last choice for replicating NYC coops).
