		Laurie Anderson was born in Chicago in 1947.
		The art scene of the early 1970s fostered an experimental attitude among many young artists in downtown New York that attracted Anderson, and some of her earliest performances as a young artist took place on the street or in informal art spaces.
		Since that time, Anderson has gone on to create large-scale theatrical works which combine a variety of media - music, video, storytelling, projected imagery, sculpture - in which she is an electrifying performer.

	Laurie Anderson - Biography - AOL Music
		By 1976, Anderson was regularly mounting performances in museums, concert halls and art festivals throughout North America and Europe; claiming to base all of her projects on the power of words and language, her work also emphasized visual imagery and cutting-edge technology, with pieces like 1980's "Born, Never Asked" written for both orchestra and electronics.
		Warner Bros. soon signed Anderson to record a full-length LP, and in 1982 she issued Big Science, a work drawn from a much larger project, the seven-hour multi-media performance United States.
		Anderson's next project, Home of the Brave, was a concert film; a year later, she also scored the Jonathan Demme/Spaulding Gray film Swimming to Cambodia.

		There was the glorious Laurie, her supple body dancing across the stage, singing riffs on an aphorism from William Burroughs: "Language is a virus from outer space." Behind her a giant screen offered its own visuals, and, simultaneously, an implicit commentary on the nature of scale.
		Anderson's loft is alive with her electronic equipment, upstairs and down, though the equipment is firmly, deliberately segregated from the living areas.
		Anderson has some gentle fun with gender stereotypes in these dialogues, but the clone is really intended to allow her yet another point of view.

		So it's not surprising that multimedia performance artist Laurie Anderson, who once said that her work dealt with the "declamation of language," should also be drawn to the power and majesty of Melville's magnum opus.
		One would be hard-pressed to come up with a more incongruous image than that of the spiky-haired Anderson, with her digitally processed vocals and synthesized violin, sitting in on Melville Society meetings dissecting chapters of this behemoth of a book.
		Still, Anderson says, two decades of creating incisive, experimental one-woman shows ("Home of the Brave," "United States Live," "Stories From the Nerve Bible") and collaborations with modern-day visionaries such as Philip Glass, Allen Ginsberg, Brian Eno and Wim Wenders didn't prepare her for Melville and his notorious great white whale.

		On the heels of her acclaimed contemporary teen novel Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson surprises her fans with a riveting and well-researched historical fiction.
		The opening scene of Anderson's ambitious novel about the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia in the late 18th century shows a hint of the gallows humor and insight of her previous novel, Speak.
		Extremely well researched, Anderson's novel paints a vivid picture of the seedy waterfront, the devastation the disease wreaks on a once thriving city, and the bitterness of neighbor toward neighbor as those suspected of infection are physically cast aside.
