Focus

In their Nature Manifesto, an immersive work currently being broadcast in ‘La Chenille’ at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Björk and Aleph give voice to silent nature in all its resilience. Composed in collaboration with Robin Meier, computer music designer at Ircam, this work resonates with many of the Institute’s research priorities.
