We’re thrilled to announce the limited edition 12” vinyl release of Björk’s captivating collaboration with @rosalia.vt featuring a stunning remix by @olofdreijer from The Knife! To be released 29th November. The 12” is available for pre-order, link in bio. But this release is more than just music—it’s a “call to arms” . Like the digital launch earlier this year, Björk, Rosalía, and their labels (Columbia Records & OLI Records) are waiving all commissions and royalties. That means 100% of the profits will go directly to AEGIS, the charity founded by Björk, dedicated to fighting intensive fish farming in Iceland and protecting our oceans and environment. Be part of something bigger. Support this cause by owning a piece of this special edition vinyl and joining us in making a difference.

BJÖRK’S CORNUCOPIA BOOK RELEASE I’m proud to announce the release of Cornucopia: The Book. This book documents my five-year tour, Cornucopia, designed by M/M Paris, with images shot by photographer Santiago Felipe. Before this tour, I spent a decade working with 360-degree sound and visual software in virtual reality and animation, creating Biophilia, the first app album, and later Vulnicura as a VR album. I was deeply inspired by the idea of a fully-immersive experience, spending a spring in an Icelandic lighthouse, spreading Utopia into fully surround speakers. My intention was to bring what we had created for 21st-century VR into a 19th-century theatre—taking it from the headset to the stage. This vision was realized with 27 moving curtains that captured projections on different textures and LED screens, creating a digitally animated show: a modern lanterna magica for live music. I also wanted to feature bespoke instruments: a magnetic harp, an aluphone, a circular flute, and a reverb chamber, specially built with an audio architect to enhance the most intimate version of a performance—in a personal chapel. Throughout this tale, there is a subplot woven in: a second story of an avatar—a modern marionette who alchemically mutates, from puppet to puppet, from the injury of a heart wound to a fully healed state. I hope you enjoy it. Warmthness, Björk Link in bio to pre-order

Thank you Centre Pompidou @centrepompidou, everyone who made Nature Manifesto happen, and all the people that took it in. We were happy to see the conversations that the use of AI in Nature Manifesto sparked !! ~ swipe for a message from Björk. The visuals were crafted by the talented Sam Balfus @balfua, artificial intelligence being one of the multiple tools used in the process. The sound was produced in collaboration with artist Robin Meier @_robinmeier_ and IRCAM @ircam_paris. IRCAM develops “frugal AI” capable of generating audio in real-time on local servers without a GPU, thus their models can f.ex. be embedded on tiny Raspberry Pi cards. We asked associate professor and researcher Philippe Esling @philippeesling to provide us with readings; Constance Douwe’s thesis “On the environmental impact of deep generative models for audio” and more, links in the top comment.

You're probably wondering why French people you don’t know are appearing on Björk's Instagram? Rest assured, we haven't hacked into her account. We're here because Björk felt that our revelations were important for the whole world: we're here to alert you about an ecological tragedy that is taking place in France because of our President @emmanuelmacron and that concerns the future and very livability of our planet. This concerns you too and anyone who watches this video. To put it bluntly: the fate of biodiversity treasures, of millions of marine animals and of the global climate are at stake. No more, no less. This scandal is unfolding in the midst of general indifference. Watch this outrageous story right to the end, and share it with everyone you know: it is URGENT that we take action. France has the second largest maritime space in the world right after the USA. What does this mean in practical terms? It means that your action can be DECISIVE for the future of the oceans and marine animals. If there is enough international pressure, we can obtain protection instead of destruction. That would be INCREDIBLE. You can always watch the video and decide to do nothing, but if you are outraged by this injustice and want a more beautiful world that protects the ocean and marine animals, then act now! We count on you ALL ♥️ To STOP the massacre of marine animals. To STOP the destruction of the oceans To STOP the French President's ‘French touch’ HOW CAN YOU TAKE ACTION? 1 / By tagging President Macron to truly protect the ocean @emmanuelmacron 2 / By signing our international petition 3 / By donating to a legal case in France to stop this (links in bio) Thank you ! @camilleetienne_ @clairenouvian_english @titouanpilliard_sailing @Bloom_Association @SOAlliance @SOAFrance @SOAIceland @Ungirumhverfissinnar

dear human race !! could you please help us stop bottom trawling within french marine protected areas ? 1. SIGN* BLOOM’s MPA petition 2. DONATE* to legal costs to fight this 3. TAG @emmanuelmacron below the intention with the Nature Manifesto at @centrepompidou is not just to remind us to maintain our deep connection with nature. i didn’t only want to talk the talk but walk the walk, so i reached out to young environmentalists in iceland and france, Sustainable Ocean Alliance @soafrance and @soaiceland, BLOOM @bloom_association, and Ungir umhverfissinnar @ungirumhverfissinnar. france has the 2nd largest maritime space in the world so it matters what they do and what they don’t do. france claims to have met the 30x30 goal,** but more than 90% of their MPAs (Marine Protected Areas) are so called “paper-parks,” - protected on paper but not in reality. at the moment emmanuel macron allows bottom trawling within them, causing obvious immense destruction. we would like to encourage you to encourage french authorities to stop this nonsense. together we can do this. warmth björk with activists: Arthur Caulliez @arthur_caulliez Camille Etienne @camilleetienne_ Claire Nouvian @claire_nouvian Sigrun Perla Gísladóttir @perlagisladottir Sæunn Júlía Sigurjónsdóttir @saeunnj Titouan Pilliard @titouanpilliard_sailing *links in bio. **UN CBD GBF target nr. 3 of at least 30% protection by 2030.
