Björk Guðmundsdóttir OTF (/bjɜːrk/ BYURK, Icelandic: [pjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr̥] ; born 21 November 1965) is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress. Noted for her distinct voice, three-octave vocal range, and eccentric public persona, she has developed an eclectic musical style over a career spanning four decades, drawing on electronica, pop, dance, trip hop, jazz, and avant-garde music. She is one of the most influential pioneers in electronic and experimental music.[2]
Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes by the age of 21.[3] After the Sugarcubes disbanded in 1992, Björk gained prominence as a solo artist with her albums Debut (1993), Post (1995), and Homogenic (1997), collaborating with artists from a range of disciplines and genres, and exploring a variety of multimedia projects. Her later albums consist of Vespertine (2001), Medúlla (2004), Volta (2007), Biophilia (2011), Vulnicura (2015), Utopia (2017) and Fossora (2022).
With sales of over 40 million records worldwide, Björk is one of the best-selling alternative artists of all time. Several of her albums have reached the top 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Thirty-one of her singles have reached the top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 top 40 hits in the UK, including the top-10 singles "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad" and the top-20 singles "Play Dead", "Big Time Sensuality", and "Violently Happy".[4][5] Her accolades and awards include the Order of the Falcon, five BRIT Awards, and 16 Grammy nominations. In 2015, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[6][7] Rolling Stone named her the 64th-greatest singer[8] and the 81st-greatest songwriter[9] of all time in 2023.
Björk starred in the 2000 Lars von Trier film Dancer in the Dark, for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival,[10] and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "I've Seen It All". Björk has also been an advocate for environmental causes in Iceland. A retrospective exhibition dedicated to Björk was held at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 2015.[11]
HR 人物｜碧玉 Björk：「每次我在電腦上使用模擬音效就會有人說『噢，這張專輯沒有靈魂。』」
碧玉使用了 AI，這似乎是一件大事？這故事要回到 11 月中，她與《Purple》聯合總編 Aleph Molinari 在巴黎龐畢度所合辦的一個小展，名叫《Nature Manifesto》（暫譯：《自然宣言》），其透過 AI 結合了絕種動物的聲音（從紀錄片擷取），搭配碧玉的旁白，觀察棲息在森林中的未知/變異生物，試圖喚醒人們對自然保護的意識。「這絕對是緊急事件...，因為世界末日已正在發生。」碧玉在《自然宣言》上表示。猶如來自過去的邀請函，其訴求是希望人類能找到與自然共處的方式：大自然既不是在遠方，也不是食物，人們應該要跟其建立關聯，保護生物的多樣性，而非肆意破壞。碧玉接受《Dazed》訪問時表示，「我很幸運能夠生在冰島，在那裡，人們也是自然的一部分。即便你是在首都雷克雅維克，你也感受不到有城鄉之分。於我們而言，自然不是世外的休閒度假。」為什麼要做《自然宣言》？於他們而言，萬物皆有靈性， Aleph Molinari 認為，「讓藝術家參與對話非常重要，因為科學家有著敲響警報的證據，但問題是，數據需要情感和敘述才能告訴人們必須去做點什麼。所以，讓藝術家、電影人、音樂家、詩人或作家參與其中非常重要，將這些數據轉變成情感和同理心，讓人們明白，必須做點什麼。」然而，當然，她的作品使用到 AI 技術也引起粉絲的疑惑，碧玉解釋，「每次我在電腦上使用模擬音效就會有人說『噢，這張專輯沒有靈魂。』但電腦本就不會為音樂帶來靈魂，這是人類才做得到的....。我們必須給替 AI 製作的事物注入靈魂。就像人類至今所做的所有偉大事業一樣，我們是能做到這點的。」「我很高興有些人在我的社群評論到 AI 的使用，我的粉絲都非常好學，會提出問題，也會去學習，我自己也很想討論這點。我一直都走工藝路線，所以我在豎琴、弦樂、節拍的編程還有編曲都下了很多功夫，可是我 90% 的工作都是在筆電上進行編輯，Techno 科技一詞源自於希臘文 tékhnē，意味著藝術或工藝，科技也是能存有人類情緒的軌跡，這點與是不是科技並無關係。」基於世人對碧玉的讚賞，粉絲們明白，一個有能力的藝術家，會知道如何用最好的方式來使用他們的工具。
