In 1995, American musician and artist Laurie Anderson (laurieandersonofficial) created a CD-ROM computer game called Puppet Motel in collaboration with artist Hsin-Chien Huang. Thirty years later, Nora Claire Miller (really.nora) bought a copy on eBay, along with a 1999 computer that could run it. Anderson’s work has a way of making time feel very physical, like a substrate. Her practice has long combined music, performance, and technology, often examining time and the machines we use to understand it. Emerging in the downtown New York art scene alongside artists like Trisha Brown and Nam June Paik, Anderson helped define a generation of interdisciplinary artists who worked at the intersection of performance, technology, and conceptual art.
