Some may believe that as technology progresses, the more cold and distant it can make everything feel, especially when it comes to music. That is not the case with Björk. Always at the forefront when it comes to musical innovations, Björk recently debuted a digital exhibit that brings you up close and personal with the singer herself.
In a different kind of intimate artist-and-fan experience than, let’s say, a meet and greet or a small live concert, Björk Digital is an avante-garde art exhibit featuring five different virtual reality scenes starring the musical legend. The traveling exhibit made its way to Sydney, Montreal, and Tokyo before landing in the hands of the LA Philharmonic.
It begins in a standing-room area where “Black Lake,” the 2015 music video collaboration with director Andrew Thomas Huang, is projected against two opposing screens. Björk sings while sprawled across Games of Thrones-esque landscapes in an effort to process the post-breakup heartache resulting fromher divorce from Matthew Barney.

Björk once described this song as if having a shape, it is “sort of like a circle that just goes on forever.”

The next few VR experiences are more complex — in “Mouth Mantra,” you’ll find yourself inside of Björk’s very mouth, with front row tickets to her teeth and uvula (that fleshy, hanging thing that is always mistaken for tonsils). Is there anything more freakishly intimate than being inside of the throat of your favorite singer? It feels VERY Innerspace.
