Laurie Anderson is an american performance artist, composer, and writer whose work explores an extraordinary area of media and subject matter. In order to get support forher work in performance art, Anderson worked as a freelance interviewer and art critic forARTnewsandArtforum. By 1974, she received several grants that gave her more freedom to pursue her artistic explorations. Anderson is one of the most well-known performance artists who continues to not only use but make technology for her performance pieces.

It combinedmusic, photography, film, drawings, and animation with text and consisted of 78 segments organized into four sections: Transportation, Politics, Money, and Love. Here's the album:
