The Next Generation
The Borg's Celebrity Admirers


Borgs Damien Hirst (Artist):

"Definitely my favourite aliens are the Borg. The Borg are spooky... like the six-million dollar man, but on the outside... Half-robot, half-human, the mad eye coming out staring at you.. an arm like a gattling gun, but more complicated...

They have a fantastic ship... a massive cube... like Fascist architecture... I can imagine the Borg playing Wagner as they loom up over the side of a planet.

They're like termites... they exist as a whole mass but they feed off other life-forms, assimilate other life-forms. Other life-forms are irrelevant. All they're interested in is expanding and furthering the Borg... Anything you throw at them they can understand and overwhelm.

They're like the Nouveau-Nazis of the Universe. You've got to admire the Borg."

Shaun Ryder & Kermit (from Black Grape):

"They have a space-ship like a Rubic's cube. It can re-generate itself. Like if you've got a sponge and the sponge can be punched in and it can come back out. The Borg are humanoid, techno-organic. And they wear leather! They want to learn everything, they've got to learn. You have no choice."
