Sunday marks the final day of Björk’s disappointing, discombobulating MoMA retrospective, but the artist has now shared one of the exhibit’s few commended features: an interactive, 360-degree music video for Vulnicura cut “Stonemilker.”
The video’s museum installation was decidedly more immersive, as it involved strapping on a virtual-reality headset that placed you in the middle of a craggy stretch of Icelandic coastline. But watching the video on a computer (note: it works best with Chrome) is still a pretty transporting experience, one that allows you to follow Björk around the beach or merely stare at the gently lapping waves of the Atlantic. Also of note: The location, a lighthouse point on the outskirts of Reykjavik called Grótta, is actually where Björk wrote “Stonemilker,” lending an additional layer of meaning to the video’s circular form.
