Laurie Anderson, Herself
Laurie Anderson is recognized worldwide for her innovative and groundbreaking work with technologically vanguard instruments in the arts. As an artist with a vast collection of work, she has published six books, produced numerous videos, films and radio pieces, and created orchestral work. She recently collaborated with Silicon Valley-based Interval Research Corporation to explore new creative tools including the Talking Stick, a wireless musical instrument that emits sound when touched.
Please join us for a very special evening of her work in retrospect, including a special screening of her latest media work, Hidden Inside Mountains.
Hidden Inside Mountains, commissioned by EXPO 2005 Aichi, Japan, is a high definition film that debuted on March 25, 2005 in Japan at EXPO 2005 on the largest high definition Astrovision screen in the world. An original score has been created by Laurie Anderson and mastered in stereo in 5.1. Hidden Inside Mountains is a film of short stories about nature, artifice and dreams. Located in a fictitious world of theatrical spaces, the stories unfold through music, gesture, text and the poetry of visual images. The film’s haunting music features violins, bells, dog barks and melody as well as many electronic sounds. Both joy and loss are caught in this film in Japanese and English. Running time is 25 minutes.
