This blew me away completely. Bjork has always been on the cutting edge of tech with her instruments. This shows off a few of them. After you watch, check out some more videos on the reactable (the blue table with the shapes on it).... it's pretty nuts.

Is an internet based radio station that is listener supported. Live DJ's do the programming and match the tunes to me similar to one another. But they slide smoothly through many genres in the process.

This is amazing! "He described it in a letter to his brother Theo: "I have painted the walls pale violet. The ground with checked material. The wooden bed and the chairs, yellow like fresh butter; the sheet and the pillows, lemon light green. The bedspread, scarlet coloured. The window, green. The washbasin, orangey; the tank, blue. The doors, lilac. And, that is all." "Casadio said Van Gogh had a room ready for Gauguin and he had worked for weeks to decorate the walls with art. "In the myriad letters he wrote to his brother Theo and friends, he said the color has to do the job here," she said. "When he was finished he slept for two days."
