Björk, On How TVs Work

GeekSugar — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 05:00:12 -0800

Though not as hilarious as Audrina learning about the Large Hadron Collider, but adorable for a different reason, this video of Björk demonstrating what goes on inside the guts of a television is my new favorite YouTube video.

Listen to her (I could listen to her explain just about anything in that Icelandic accent) tell you what she learned from her Danish television book, and of course, the lies she endured from poets. Trust me: it makes sense after you watch the video.

Björk Gets Wired With Wanderlust in 3-D

Wired got the 3-D premiere of Björk's new video for "Wanderlust," directed by geek impresarios Encyclopedia Pictura. I love that this premiere is a Wired.com event rather than say, an MTV.com event. Seeing the video, you'll understand why - those 3D glasses are necessary! Well, they're an enhancement, at least (and Wired provides a handy tutorial on DIY 3-D glasses).

If you know and love Björk then you know what to expect - meaning you have no idea what to expect. For the 3-D version, click here. To see the 2-D version of the video (no glasses required), click here.
