BJÖRK

signature song “Human Behavior,” Michel Gondry–directed video featured giant teddy bears

adorably odd moment Too many to count, but wearing a stuffed swan to the 2011 Oscars is definitely up there

cool collaborators Nurtured careers of Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq and Finnish multimedia artist Heidi Kilpeläinen

vocal style Can soar from Icelandic baby talk to celestial bellow capable of grinding eardrums into dried fish

extra credit Released “Stonemilker” on Oculus Rift; subject of retrospective at NYC’S MOMA through June 7
