Opis (eng)

Summary: Multimedia project Biophilia (2011) by Icelandic artist Björk is a unique creative venture that unites music, science, ecology, technology, and innovative approaches to teaching. Even though it is primarily made as Björk’s seventh studio album, Biophilia is not only a collection of ten songs about various natural phenomena (from Moon cycles to DNA replication) but also a platform packed with interactive materials that can greatly enrich the experience of the songs. For each song on the album, there is a special application excitingly illustrating its prominent features. The application allows you not only to rearrange the final form of the song but also to analyze the song in relation to its lyrics and musical notation. The intersecting of music, video games, and educational materials has already been used as an inspiring teaching tool in many, primarily Scandinavian schools. However, in addition to the music album, teaching device, and application, Biophilia includes many other innovations and activities: from using new and unconventional musical instruments, through recording music videos and films about the project, to an ambitious concert tour, Björk shows an outstanding capacity for interconnecting music, visual, and performing arts. Apart from presenting the multimedia character of Björk’s project, this paper will also point out its possible connections with ecological humanities.
