Overview
Vivid Sydney is really cranking it up this year. Last month they announced a truly epic program of lights, music, ideas and live events, which, in one heck of a slam dunk, included none other than Björk (BJÖRK!). As part of Carriageworks' contemporary program, she'll launch a huge virtual reality project dubbed BJÖRK DIGITAL — a collaboration with some of the world's best filmmakers and programmers. And to celebrate the opening, Björk herself will travel to Sydney to curate a one-off music event at Carriageworks, where she'll DJ with special guests.
In a response that absolutely everybody expected, the opening night event sold out quick sticks. While that leaves the 12 people who actually got tickets pretty smug and happy, it leaves the rest of us sad and confused as to how we'll live a life where Björk doesn't make an appearance. Luckily, Carriageworks have today announced that they'll be adding a second BJÖRK DIGITAL party, to be held the night following the opening on Saturday, June 4.
The event itself cost $110 a tickie, and will include access to the BJÖRK DIGITAL exhibition, DJ sets by special guests and a DJ set by Björk herself. As well as the two big parties, the exhibition will run from June 4-18. It will include a downright must-experience program of her extensive video, multimedia and virtual reality works.
Tickets for the BJÖRK DIGITAL Party #2 go on sale this Friday, April 8 at 9am. To snap some up, visit the Carriageworks website.
