Musician, writer, film-maker, artist.
I saw Laurie Anderson's exhibiton at the ICA gallery, London, in the early 1980s; it was extraordinary, memorable. Her album, "Big Science" is about to be re-released, 25 years later. Her music is inventive, haunting, experimental. Listen to the forthcoming album on her website.

Laurie Anderson was the first artist I saw using the "new technology" as a vehicle for her work. She brings together multi-media, live and recorded, from many different sources, working individually and collaboratively, constantly moving on and embracing new developments. I prefer her music to her visual pieces; the latter seem to fall into cliches and are more predictable, whereas the music is still fresh and thought-provoking.
