Wanderlust

I'm still pondering the new video by Björk called "Wanderlust," created by the 3D animation folks at Encyclopedia Pictura in SF.

I dig her music, but I think I'm even more fascinated by her process. She has such a deep taproot into Icelandic culture, and through it draws up a sort of timeless, chthonic energy that gets blended with contemporary forms to produce work that's completely authentic but also (in my book) avant-garde. I also have serious respect for her originality - her faithfulness to her artistic vision is almost hermit-like, but then she ends up doing these amazing collaborations that pull out new facets of her music.
