BJÖRK DIGITAL features immersive, large-scale and intimate digital video works and virtual reality experiences across five bespoke spaces at Carriageworks, created by Björk collaborating with some of the finest visual artists, film makers and programmers in the world. Björk will also perform DJ sets at two sold out concerts at Carriageworks on Friday 3 June and Saturday 4 June 2016.
BJÖRK DIGITAL invites audiences to experience Björk’s music and videos in 4D through the immersive medium of virtual reality, including the world premiere of Notget by Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, along with the Australian premiere of virtual reality projects Stonemilker and Mouth Mantra. Shot on location in Iceland by award winning director Andrew Huang, Stonemilker presents Björk in a windswept 360 degree film, while Mouth Mantra, directed by Jesse Kandra, transports the viewer to inside the Icelandic icon’s mouth, her tongue and teeth warped and twisted seemingly taking on a life of its own.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said this world premiere is an exciting addition to Vivid Sydney, the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas.
“Vivid Sydney is defined by art and ideas that explore the intersection of art and technology, and BJORK DIGITAL is a great example of this concept and will take audiences on an incredible journey in a virtual reality world. Sydney is the creative hub of the Asia-Pacific, and it’s this type of innovation that attracts artists, innovators and visitors to Vivid every year. This world premiere event promises to be one of the highlights of this year’s Vivid Sydney festival,” Mr Ayres said.
BJÖRK DIGITAL will run until 18 June 2016 at Carriageworks.
