Björk Digital was the touring exhibition of the Icelandic musician's virtual-reality and digital works, presented at Day for Night 2016 as a sequence of rooms in which visitors put on headsets to enter the pieces one at a time. CultureMap's preview described rooms set in the highlands of Björk's native Iceland and Mouthmantra VR, which places the viewer inside the singer's mouth as she sings, and called the exhibition the highlight of both the music and visual-art lineups. Björk also performed at the festival.

Free Press Houston covered the exhibition from the lineup announcement in September 2016 through a dedicated FAQ on Björk and ticketing in October. Roger Ho's photograph of the installation, published by Janky Smooth and displayed from the publisher's host, is the only image the archive can show. The exhibition is described as a digital and virtual-reality work; nothing generative is claimed for it.
