You may have heard about the high profile failure of Bjork's Kickstarter campaign. She sought £375,000 not for a new album, but to make a port of her last album's app, Biophillia, from iOS to Android and Windows 8. Many are saying that the project failed because she's rich and famous and could have just paid for everything herself. But that seems silly. There are plenty of ways that the rich and famous can make use of crowdfunding and plenty of reasons why it makes sense to do so. The project failed because it was a bad project for crowdfunding, and because Bjork isn't necessarily connected with her fans in a way that makes sense for crowdfunding. (Read More)

So, björk launched a kickstarter and cancelled it. Long story short (and you can read the details in the actual news, here), she released her album “biophilia” via a series of iOS apps a while ago, and she wanted to port it to android/windows 8 devices. (Read More)

Kickstarter backers in line for an Android or touchscreen Windows 8 port of Björk’s app/album Biophilia are going to be be disappointed: the project has been put on hold indefinitely, reports Pitchfork. In a letter to the project’s contributors, the Biophilia team explains that "the costs were too gigantic and we were too optimistic," deciding that it would be better to stop the project than let it drag on, although it didn't rule out coming back to it in the future. (Read More)

An attempt by Bjork to crowdsource funds to continue work on her Biophilia project has been cancelled, according to the project's web page. The Icelandic singer had launched the campaign on Kickstarter at the beginning of the year, asking for £375,000 ($591,000) to create Android and Windows 8 versions of the app, which turns the concepts and songs of the album into interactive art. In 10 days, however, just over £15,000, or $23,600, had been raised."Dear Folks!" her message began, all in lower case. "Thanks so much for your donations! (Read More)

The Kickstarter campaign to fund a Windows 8 and Android version of Biophilia, a music app from the mind of singer Björk, has been halted well before the scheduled end of the campaign.

Things seem to be changing fast; perhaps in a year, even months, there will be a far cheaper way to reprogram this." (Read More)
