A great interview with Bjork wherin she discusses the creative process behind the iPad art/vis app that powers the Biophelia project.

What struck me especially is that she values idiosyncrasy itself. I think she sees something uniquely human in the dusty corners of creative endeavors. Indeed, I'm beginning to realize that just as our weaknesses give us character, so also the flaws in a work of art give it humanity.

You can use the tool of Western Civilization and be impulsive and intuitive and emotional -- and that, for me, creates a lot of hope.

Sometimes pointless delightfulness is exactly what the world needs.
