After she has been touring around the world this year with her "Björk Digital", the Iceland artist announced on Tuesday that she is taking this virtual reality exhibition to the UK for its European premiere. The exhibition, described in a press release as a "private theatrical experience", inviting visitors to engage with her work through virtual reality technology, will be at Somerset House in London from September 1 until October 23.

Björk Digital includes the Icelandic artist’s various VR and interactive videos, such as the "Stonemilker" video, the "Black Lake" film, both made in collaboration with Andrew Thomas Huang, her "Mouth Mantra" video, and a VR video for "Notget"  that "presents Björk as a digital moth giantess transformed by stunning masks created by artist James Merry." In addition, as a part of this European premiere, Björk will also perform at London´s Royal Albert Hall on September 21.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Who can always surprises with innovation in at least both sides, music and visual. The one and only Björk. This time is about the video of her second single "Stonemilker", directed by Andrew Thomas Huang. A true panoramic, 360° video, that every viewer can choose and change not only the angle of view, but literally how to see it.

_________________________

The Björk by Alasdair McLellan collaboration bring us The Gentlewoman # 11 and first time ever a full-color cover. A really great way to evoke Spring with all its shades. The issue doesn´t feature only Björk; they offer us: " The multi-tasking creative force Miranda July; Scottish motor-racing dynamo Susie Wolff; renegade artist Andrea Zittel; the industrious British aristocrat Raine, Countess Spencer; Hollywood film director Ava DuVernay; Watford’s favourite daughters, The Staves and acting-CEO of the Clinton Foundation, Maura Pally. Fashion alchemist Hannah MacGibbon leads us on a stylish stroll through north London, while jazzy seasonal fashions are admirably demonstrated by Gisele Bündchen, Freja Beha Erichsen and Iselin Steiro. The array of sunny doings and modern musings is completed by way of a specially-commissioned portfolio by the wondrous artist Ella Kruglyanskaya."
