Laurie Anderson interviewed by Ken Goldberg

 Media Atc Laurieanderson F08S09
BB pal Ken Goldberg, UC Berkeley engineering professor and artist, curates a fantastic free lecture series called the Art, Technology, & Culture Colloquium. At a recent event, Ken interviewed multimedia art pioneer Laurie Anderson. The audio of the interview is now available online:
This event was held in conjunction with Anderson’s newest performance, “Homeland,” which includes songs and stories that create a poetic and political portrait of contemporary American culture. Conceived as one long piece of music, “Homeland” moves through many worlds, from Greek tragedy to American business models, addressing the current obsession with fear, violence, and security.

"Walking and Falling" is still my favorite of hers. It was the first time I'd ever heard anyone describe walking in that way, and it stuck with me.

I first found her by way of Philip Glass (and if you listen to "Einstein on the Beach," you'll hear her. "Knee Play 5" is my favorite).

I'll have to check out that interview.
