"It is an emergency. The apocalypse has already happened. And how we will act now is essential," Bjork recites over an array of ear-tingling wildlife noises that are sometimes natural, sometimes otherworldly.
"As you go up the escalator, you go through all these different sonic worlds," said IRCAM sound artist Robin Meier Wiratunga, who collaborated with Bjork on the installation.
"This immersive sound piece gives endangered and extinct animals a voice by merging their sounds with our words, handing them the microphone," Bjork said in a statement shared with NPR.
"In a pioneering sound strata of mutant peacocks, bees, and lemurs, biology will reassemble in new ways," highlighting the transformative and imaginative aspect of the installation.
