Bjork and London at night

I went to a Bjork installation at Somerset House. It was very good. It was songs from her latest album done in Virtual Reality. One on a beach, one inside her mouth and some computer generated. I hadn't tried a virtual reality headset before, was very impressed although not enough to buy one! You went through different rooms for each song and sat on a stool which could turn all the way round so you could view round 360 degrees. The final room you could move around and there were detectors so it could see where you were and deal with that, you were kind of tethered to the ceiling so that you didn't bump in to other people too much. It is a bit freaky if someone bumps in to you because you cannot see them in your virtual reality

This is the view of London from Waterloo Bridge on the way home
