She is such a stunning evolution of the young Sugarcubes I have loved for....um, geez, has it been more than 30 years? Yes. Wow. I have stayed pretty tuned in to what she's been doing with her music and acting, and now I feel I NEED this! I don't think I can afford a VR apparatus, but since this video is 6 years old, maybe they are a more reasonable price now. If I could feel that close, I mean, it's better than a concert...almost, maybe. Since I saw them in 1992 at Mile High Stadium with U2 and Public Enemy, and again in '95 at the Paramount, which was really amazing because it is a much smaller venue here in Denver Co. (although Mile High Stadium was outside, and that concert was INCREDIBLE). To almost have her right there would be such an intimate and beautiful experience. I think she's amazing and I love how she's manages to stay on the line of alternative without becoming trendy, that definitely says something about her ascending growth as an artist, staying so 100% authentic. 💚🖤💚🖤💚🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤❤️🔥
2 years late, but I'll translate it from 2:22 onwards cause why not: Narrator: Björk‘s show first opened in Australia last summer, but appeared in Tokyo, London and Montreal before it was opened in Harpa (concert hall in Iceland) last november. With each new destination a new work is added to the show, but the videos make use of the whole color spectrum available to current virtual reality technology. Though the technology is exotic to many, Björk considers it a natural next step in her career. Björk: Yeah, it was really a very natural evolution - at least from my perspective. Because, of course, the music video is a form that I‘ve been very preoccupied with since my time with the Sugarcubes, really. And then, of course, MTV happened. Really, MTV was the VR of the 80s. We can‘t forget that all of these standardized forms that we think of as so basic, such as playing a video on a TV, when that all started it was very, you know, radical - or, you know, I remember back in the distant past watching the Skonrokk episodes - and you just held your breath. And to make a long story short, maybe MTV is not quite the platform that it used to be. But now there‘s maybe that same feeling in VR, and it‘s really very fun to be a participant in this form when it‘s still in the process of being defined. Interviewer: How was it, getting these brainchildren of yours into this costume? Björk: When I left bands and started trying to make my own music, I felt, like, a lot more secure there, and am in direct control of maybe 80% of my records, and then take in collaborators, but because I‘m also, you know, a lightly democratic type - I really enjoy group assignments, and obviously spent 10 years working in bands - that maybe transferred over to the visual, with me. And I find that really fun. But the director that I work with puts his name on it in the end. But me and James Merry - who I work with a lot now - we‘ve been uh, writing these stories and this world with the director. Narrator: Björk says that the artform of the music video belongs especially well in virtual reality. Björk: People still aren‘t sure if it‘s exactly the right form for motion pictures - people even suspect that it might not be. And it‘s - it‘s pretty isolated, you have these headsets, and you have these masks, and you‘re transported somewhere totally different, some other world, with 360 degree sound and 360 degree visuals, and it‘s this journey, but it takes only maybe 10 to 15 minutes. Björk: I find it really extremely exciting, like the stuff I‘m composing right now, to take that in, to go all the way into synesthesia and the waves, you know, to let the visuals match the soundwaves, how they move in song. It’s, you know, really just an amazing opportunity. Björk: Yeah, it is some sort of, uh, pocket-Wagner. I think that a lot of musical artists, from the late Wagner and ever since then, are excited about this, this, you know… taking all the senses in. Having a 360 stage. And you’ve just peered your head into, you know, the biggest stage in the world. Where anything can happen. And it’s just exciting. Really exciting.
She's just being herself. So much judgment and criticism going around these days. It's a trap far too many have fallen into and haven't looked at themselves in the mirror enough. Of you don't like it, don't watch. Or be capable of seeing what's behind the mask, a beautifully talented artist. Kindness goes so much further. Judgment is cruel.
@Rai Wismatara um.....okay. I just think for someone who's an actual fan of Björk, that seems like a stupid question about the mask. She's only ever been unapologetically herself. Sad you have somehow missed that beautiful part of her character.
Lyrics: *ICELANDIC*
I can't believe she's 55
Same she's older than my parents but my parents are stuck in the past, Björk is one of the least stagnant musicians in the world
info: (english)
björk guðmundsdóttir, has never been afraid to explore new territories in the art, and has now made its way in the world of virtual reality. the exhibition digital world björk, which opened in harpa earlier this month, gives guests the opportunity to experience the music of the last album its vulnicuru, with all the senses. she says exciting to work with a medium that is still in development and that this technology opens the way musicians onto the biggest stage in the world.
logical development
show björk, was first opened in australia last summer came to tokyo, london, and montreal, before it opened in harpa in november. every crossing is added one work to show the videos make use of the entire spectrum of contemporary virtual reality technology. although the technology is many exotic looks björk, on virtual reality as a logical step in his career.
"yes, this was really a natural progression from my standpoint. music video is a form i have worked much since i was in 'the sugarcubes'. MTV was actually virtual reality ninth decade. it should not be forgotten that all this current form, like slamming the video to the TV, was very radical at the time. this is a bit the same feeling of virtual reality and it is very pleasant to participate in this form while it is yet to define what it is.
bossy but also democratic
björk, has always maintained that it's music videos. "when i left the bands and began to make my own music, i became much masterful there; handle maybe 80 percent of my plates and so take your colleagues. but i also make democratic type, likes a team, ten years in bands where we worked in a group, it moved over this visual for me. those directors who i work with, write their name under the end of the james merry, i work with a lot right now, writing stories with the director. "
vasa wagner,
björk said that virtual reality does in fact the dream of musicians such as richard wagner, to bring all the arts for the same job. "yes this is any pocket-wagner. i think many musicians, ever since the wagner and was named, was excited to take all the senses and have a 360 ° stage. you have only the head inside the biggest stage in the world where anything can happen. and this is so exciting - so bloody exciting.

I'd give anything to get the subtitles in Icelandic, spoken Icelandic is still too hard for me 😭

Quién más está aprendiendo islandes?
Good singer
👍
Why she always using the mask now?
Well this is a 2016 interview when the masks were fairly new. Hopefully she stops when she's promoting the next album, I'm also tired of it now.
@@humanbeing4841 Why’s it an issue?
She's just being herself. So much judgment and criticism going around these days. It's a trap far too many have fallen into and haven't looked at themselves in the mirror enough. Of you don't like it, don't watch. Or be capable of seeing what's behind the mask, a beautifully talented artist. Kindness goes so much further. Judgment is cruel.
@@sixmercer2504 I am just asking, the one who judge is you😂, spiritually hipokrit or hipokritly spiritual,or whatever you wanna call yourself😂
@Rai Wismatara um.....okay. I just think for someone who's an actual fan of Björk, that seems like a stupid question about the mask. She's only ever been unapologetically herself. Sad you have somehow missed that beautiful part of her character.
