Bjork stopped by the Colbert Report last night to talk about her new album “Biophilia”, which has an interactive iPad component that lets listeners manipulate the music with various on-screen elements.
Anything Bjork ever does is noteworthy, musically speaking, and now that she’s decided to release her next album Biophilia, as a multimedia project comprised of 10 iPad apps, she’s also become noteworthy in a technological sense.
Sure, you could ask an engineer or designer how an old TV works. But then you’d get a boring, predictable and correct answer. Who wants that? Not me, that’s for sure. I’d much rather listen to Bjork tell me exactly what’s going on inside a TV, because you’re guaranteed to get a much more fantastical and entertaining answer. Is it accurate? Hell no. But is it whimsical to the point of insanity? Yes, yes it is, and I’ll take that over accuracy any day. [Geeksugar via Boing Boing Gadgets]
