Björk’s Biophilia first app added to MoMA’s collection
By Andy Malt | Published on Thursday 12 June 2014
The app created for Björk’s ‘Biophilia’ album in 2011 is to become the first to be added to the New York Museum Of Modern Art’s permanent collection.
Commenting, MoMA’s Senior Curator in its Department Of Architecture And Design said: “‘Biophilia’ – a hybrid software application and music album with interactive graphics, animations, and musical scoring – reflects Björk’s interest in a collaborative process that here included not only other artists, engineers, and musicians, but also splendid amateurs – the people that download and play the app/album”.
I don’t believe I’ve ever been called a ‘splendid amateur’ before. How lovely.
