Laurie Anderson

Is an artist in the Electronic Art movement, as a musician and artist. She is known to combine these two in her projects and during installation plays music that connects to the theme of her art. For example her 'Delusion Album' is a visual compilation of images that are different to the last one and do not exactly relate, there is an image of herself or a relation to her within a shaped blue silhouette, or her first image which is of satin fabric, ghost ships etc. During these images she plays brooding deep music reminiscent of Tibetan temple horns and Arabic strings played using an electronically enhanced violin. This pays tribute to emotions such as longing, identity and memory.
This is a creative way of using electronic media to connect with art, the violin encompasses feelings associated with the image and let's the viewers feel how they should be seen.
She is a performance artist!
From this I could incorporate her idea to use music to help display the message of what my art could be seen. During a slideshow of images I could use songs that relate to the theme playing in the background.
So instead of printing my art as my installation I could create a media of slide show or movie and apply music to the background.
