NASA’s first ever artist-in-residence, Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most intrepid creators. She launched her recording career with 1981’s hit “O Superman,” her prophetic Eventide Harmonizer and vocoder-mediated meditation on Americana, commercialism, geopolitics, and race. This song was included on her first album, 1982’s Big Science. She also created the soundtrack to her feature film “Home of the Brave” and “Life on a String” (2001). Anderson's live shows range from simple spoken word to elaborate multi-media stage performances such as “Songs and Stories for Moby Dick” (1999). Anderson has published seven books, invented several electronic instruments, and her visual work has been presented in major museums around the world. In 2015 her film Heart of a Dog was chosen as an official selection of the 2015 Venice and Toronto Film Festivals and her exhibition Habeas Corpus opened at the Park Avenue Armory to wide critical acclaim.
