Björk announces immersive auditory experience in Paris

"We would like to share our “Nature Manifesto,” a sound installation at the Centre Pompidou @centrepompidou, Paris. Produced in collaboration with the IRCAM using AI software, this immersive sound piece gives endangered and extinct animals a voice by merging their sounds with our words. We wanted to share their presence in an architecture representing the industrial age, far away from nature," Björk shared in a statement.

Earlier this year, released "Oral" – a collaboration with Rosalía in bid to help fight against salmon farming operations in Iceland, and also narrated the documentary, Fungi: The Web Of Life, directed by Gisela Kaufmann and Joseph Nizeti, and is about "the ways that fungi have shaped life on Earth for over a billion years".

"In the veins of the escalator of the museum, known as the “caterpillar,” we wanted to remind citizens of the raw vitality of endangered creatures," she continues. "Even though you are restlessly traveling between floors whilst listening to this soundpiece, the tone of animals’ voices hopefully builds a sonic bridge towards the listeners. And in the spirit of these animals, in the magic of how they are sensually aligned with their environment, they become our teachers! Their ghosts remind us of improving our primordial mindfulness. But we didn’t only want to talk the talk but walk the walk, so together with young environmentalists in France and Iceland, we have set up a campaign."
