Björk to speak at 'Wired' technology conference

Following her launch of the “world’s first app album”, Björk has now been announced as one of the speakers at this year’s Wired conference.

The technology conference, hosted by the American magazine and online periodical, will take place between 17-18 October at London’s Tobacco Dock. The Icelandic musician will join a panel full of pioneering technocrats.

Björk’s latest album, Biophilia released in October 2011, was released with a series of apps, described as a “multimedia exploration of music, nature and technology”. The app allowed users to engage with the themes of the album in various forms and even influence and alter the music being played.

Tickets for the conference start from £1,431 and are available here.
