Björk announces next destination for her VR exhibition

The next destination for Björk‘s VR exhibition, Björk Digital, has been announced by the artist, NME said.

Having previously had showings in Tokyo and London, the exhibition itself allows patrons to immerse themselves in two virtual reality experiences: ‘Family’ and ‘Notget’. Films directed by Andrew Thomas Huang will also be available to view, while footage of Björk performing ‘Quicksand’ in Tokyo will also be part of the new exhibition.

Björk Digital will next take up residency in Los Angeles, running in the California city from May 19 to June 4. Housed in the Magic Box at The Reef, the arrival of the exhibition in LA will be complemented by a special live performance by the exhibition’s curator.

Teaming up with the LA Philharmonic – who will be conducted by Bjarni Frímann Bjarnason – Björk will perform at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on May 30 as part of the larger Reykjavík Festival.

Tickets go on sale from March 6.
