This time around, the exhibition \u201cBj\u00f6rk Digital\u201d at London\u2019s Somerset House occupies a completely different realm in the\u00a0arts, which is fuelled by the ever so popular virtual reality (VR) technology. The exhibition comprises digital and video works, which resulted from the Icelandic icon\u2019s collaborations with some of the most admirable visual artists and programmers in the world. Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s VR project invites visitors to engage with her work in a more private intimate manner, where the public is no longer detached from the performance\u00a0but instead is enveloped through the latest VR technology and transported into a unique space that blurs the boundaries between performer and spectator.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BjorkDigital_SantiagoFelipe_SLEEK_2.jpg\" alt=\"At Somerset House\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/> Photo By Santiago Felipe, Image Courtesy of At Somerset House<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nThe exhibition will include VR experiences based on tracks from her recent \u201cVulnicura\u201d album, some of Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s never-before-seen work and an educational space showcasing the apps and bespoke instruments developed for her 2011 \u201cBiophilia\u201d album. From \u201cVulnicura\u201d, the public will be able to experience \u201cBlack Lake\u201d, the groundbreaking film commissioned by the MoMa, and \u201cStonemilker VR\u201d, a one-to-one performance of the first track of the album; both pieces were directed and produced by the Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang. \u201cBlack Lake\u201d will be delivered through panoramic visuals accompanied by an exceptionally cutting-edge surround-sound system, and \u201cStonemilker VR\u201d will be experienced\u00a0in full 360-degree VR, where viewers finds themselves in a one-to-one performance with Bj\u00f6rk at a remote beach in Iceland.<br \/>\nMoreover, the exhibition will also include two unusual yet intriguing VR experiences that will surely make the visit worthwhile. \u201cMouthmantra VR\u201d, worked with director Jesse Kanda, consists of a somewhat disturbing inside footage of Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s mouth while she sings the title track and her teeth and tongue appear to come to life. On the other hand, \u201cNotget VR\u201d,directed by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, presents the public with a giant Bj\u00f6rk moth-like reincarnation, which is transformed by artist James Merry\u2019s enthralling masks.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"size--small\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/BjorkDigital_AndrewThomasHuang_SLEEK_1.jpg\" alt=\"At Somerset House\" width=\"1500\" height=\"593\" \/> &#8220;Stonemilker VR&#8221;, Photo by Andrew Thomas Huang.
