After Sydney, Tokyo and London earlier this year, the exhibition comes to Montreal
Red Bull Music Academy and Phi present the North American premiere of Björk Digital, in association with DHC/ART Foundation for Contemporary Art. This exhibition by the singular musician, organized by the Manchester International Festival is on view at DHC/ART from October 15 to November 12, 2016.
Björk Digital allows visitors to connect, on many levels, with the works, message and heart of this Icelandic artist through five virtual reality experiences, video screenings and a hands-on educational space.
Virtual reality experiences feature, among others: the world premiere of Family, directed by Andrew Thomas Huang, with co-creative direction by Björk and James Merry.
“Family for me is the centre piece of the Vulnicura VR album and I am so thrilled to complete this with Andy and James. We tried to capture with virtual reality the metaphysical journey of healing of a heartwound and hope the audience will be able to experience it with us!”, says Björk.
Stonemilker VR and Black Lake (also both directed by Andrew Thomas Huang), Mouth Mantra VR (directed by Jesse Kanda) and Quicksand VR (collaboration with Dentsu Lab Tokyo) complete our virtual reality program for this exhibition.
Björk Cinema presents, on the big screen, a curated selection of remastered Björk music videos, including favourites directed by Michel Gondry, Sophie Muller, Chris Cunningham and Spike Jonze. Finally, Biophilia is a wide-ranging artistic and educational project launched by Björk in 2011 that gives visitors the opportunity to interact with the app created around the Biophilia album.
All headphones and speakers supplied by Bowers & Wilkins, the exclusive audio supplier for Björk Digital.
