Björk’s virtual reality exhibition, Björk Digital, is coming to Somerset House for its European premiere on September 1. Presenting a series of digital and video works, Björk created the project in collaboration with some of the best visual artists and programmers in the world, including director Jesse Kanda (who made the video for “Mouth Mantra”, below) and filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang.
When the exhibition was first shown in Sydney, Björk wrote, “We have made seven 360 videos for Vulnicura and I am enthusiastic about this natural continuity of the music video: the intimacy, total merge of surround sound and vision makes VR an ideal home!”
Alongside the exhibition premiere, Björk will play a one-off gig at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday, September 21. Björk Digital is at Somerset House September 1 – October 23, 2016.
