 The album cover for A Rush of Blood to the Head was designed by photographer Sølve Sundsbø . Sundsbø had been hired by fashion magazine Dazed & Confused in the late 1990s to produce something with a " technological feel , something all white " . As an artist , he tried to do " stuff that hasn 't been done before , which is virtually impossible " ; he suggested taking shots using a three @-@ dimensional scanning machine .
