Performance artist and musician Laurie Anderson fuses art and technology. A pioneer across many genres, she has developed instruments such as a violin with recorded magnetic tape in its bow; pushed digital boundaries in the visual arts, as in the path-breaking BBC series The Human Face; and served as NASA’s first artist-in-residence, inspiring her epic work The End of the Moon. The constant in her ever-shifting artistic exploration is the confounding of our expectations, from the symphony of car horns that started her career to her recent Music for Dogs, audible only to our canine companions. Anderson reflects on an extraordinary career in a conversation with Steppenwolf Theatre artistic director Martha Lavey.
