Icelandic experimental musician, Björk, is slated to answer a select number of the internet-using public's questions as part of Reddit's AMA (Ask Me Anything) series today. The informal interview session began at 9 AM EST this morning, and while the artist hasn't responded in about two hours, leaving some users seem to think it's finished, it hasn't been formally declared "over" yet, either.

So far, she has brought her signature voice and all its unpredictable, unbounded creativity to bear in full force in the discussion. The topics covered range from her relationship with creativity ("its nature is quite pranksterish and slippery and everytime u grab its tail its found a nu corner to thrive in [sic]"), to whether there is an afterlife and if she can cook ("yes and i will cook there"). She also praised Boston drag queen Katya's impersonation of her on RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars, which was broadcast this past Thursday: "she nailed the feminist activist tribal volta sincerest form of flattery etc".

The artist is preparing to bring her virtual reality-incorporating Björk Digital exhibition to Montreal this fall for the city's 2016 edition of Red Bull Music Academy. In June, she spoke about "hitting walls" due to music industry sexism at the Australian opening of the aforementioned exhibition.
