The Language of the Future explores the concept of the now – how we react to the hallucinogenic rush of information that greets us, bombards us and demands our attention. What do we make of the playing out of current events and how do we absorb the nature of politics, what are the talking heads really trying to say and do?
Story, song, electronics, and imagery, with the artist’s familiar themes of love, war, communication and history woven in – the art, the language of Laurie Anderson, live at HOTA.
