Laurie Anderson's "Alive From Off Center" How many remember this?It was on PBS starting in 87'came on at about 10:00 CST."She created a digital clone of herself, a little man with a big head with whom she engaged in friendly banter. He would become the equivalent of one of her audio masks, another voice through which she could funnel ideas “so that it’s not always just me” Anderson explains. “The clone is the concept of a surrogate. At times I use it to say things I don’t have the guts to say”. Her video alter-ego joined other stands-ins for herself, such as her violin and voice altering vocoder, to which she later added a violin playing marionette and a digitally programmed parrot. They also said things that Anderson herself would not say."
How many remember this?What do you think?

Pretty cool Henso. I wish I had caught any of it, but it's completely outside of my consciousness that something like that ever existed. I remember enjoying "Home of the Brave" at midnight shows at the Balboa theater in Newport CA (same place for particip

I *believe* that show was produced here in the Twin Cities. I've been in email contact with the composer of the theme song (Chel White) who was involved in a quirky electronic group called Process Blue.
