Björk Digital review – to virtual reality and beyond

Somerset House, London
The musician's otherworldly VR album-exhibition shows that technology can't quite keep up with her galactic-scale artistic ambition

Well, this is definitely the most fun you can have inside a gigantic pulsating mouth this month. Predictably, Bjirk Digital is a peculiar affair. It is essentially the first chance to watch - or perhaps "experience" or "inhabit" would be more appropriate - four of the new virtual reality videos for Vulnicura tracks that are to be released "on all major VR platforms" this winter, plus a couple of cinema rooms and some odd musical instruments and iPad apps you can tootle on. Ticketholders are led through in timed groups so that VR stations and this immersive exhibition can be experienced in sync. It's neither art exhibition nor film presentation nor tech demonstration, but a hodge-podge of all of the above.
