== Artwork == ''The Bends'' was the first Radiohead album with artwork by [[Stanley Donwood]], who has worked with Yorke to create all of Radiohead's artwork since.<ref name="Evening" /> Donwood met Yorke while they were students at the [[University of Exeter]], and previously created artwork for the ''My Iron Lung'' EP.<ref name="Evening">{{Cite web|last=Edmonds|first=Lizzie|date=2015-03-25|title=Stanley Donwood: 'I didn't like Radiohead but they're OK with computers'|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/stanley-donwood-i-didn-t-like-radiohead-but-they-re-ok-with-computers-10132521.html|access-date=2022-01-17|website=[[Evening Standard]]|language=en|archive-date=18 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220118182604/https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/stanley-donwood-i-didn-t-like-radiohead-but-they-re-ok-with-computers-10132521.html|url-status=live}}</ref> For ''The Bends'', Yorke and Donwood hired a cassette camera and filmed objects including road signs, packaging and street lights.

Instead, they filmed a [[Cardiopulmonary resuscitation|CPR]] mannequin, which Donwood described as having "a facial expression like that of an android discovering for the first time the sensations of ecstasy and agony, simultaneously".<ref name="Far Out-2019" /> To create the cover image, the pair displayed the footage on a television set and photographed the screen.<ref name="Far Out-2019">{{Cite web|date=2019|title=The surreal story of how the artwork of Radiohead's ''The Bends'' was created|url=https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/radiohead-the-bends-album-artwork-explained/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414073527/https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-surreal-story-of-how-the-cover-of-radioheads-the-bends-was-created/|archive-date=14 April 2019|access-date=2019-04-14|website=Far Out|language=en-GB}}</ref>
