After viewing multiple Bjork and Matthew Barney’s artworks I found that avant-garde artists normally are a group of people that could follow the steps of digital technology. Because when they need to achieve their “weird” effects, digital technology is a good resource to rely on. Those unique match of colors, sharp-cut theme, reshaped objects and unrestricted style, audience view them as avant-garde is largely because they’re unfamiliar with those artists’ “magic” technology. Of course, that not equals to as long as people knows updated technology that he would also make his art.
One of Bjork’s was impressed on my heart which called Hyper ballad.

Bjork is lying on a digital projection screen with her eyes closed, then another Bjork projects on the former one, with her eyes opened and singing crazily. Multiple overlapped digital layers intwine with each other rhythmically, which illustrate a split scene for viewers.
Matthew Barney’s works I think are a little bit bloody and irascible just as what he said.“My work is not for everyone”
