The guest director of the festival this year is the esteemed Laurie Anderson.



Renowned for her inventive use of technology - from her 1981 hit O Superman to her appointment as NASA’s first artist-in-residence - Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most daring creative pioneers. Her eclectic, multidisciplinary career has spanned the worlds of art, theatre and experimental music and has seen her create works as a writer, director, visual artist and vocalist. Most recently Anderson has garnered acclaim for her first feature film in almost 30 years - Heart of a Dog - which reflects on the deaths of her husband Lou Reed, her mother, her beloved dog, and such diverse subjects as family memories, surveillance and Buddhist teachings.

Laurie Anderson is pretty awesome: I've been able to twice see her in concert. Though personally I prefer her performance pieces to her story-telling.

I do hope you've heard her contribution to JMJ's collaborative "Time Machine" album, "Rely On Me". It's remarkable just how well the two quite different styles work together!

That light show on the Pavilion looks so cool.
I think they do the same kind of thing on Disney's Cinderella Castle. :)
NASA as in America's space agency? :o
Hugs, Jon
