A small gallery room is rigged with four large loudspeakers suspended in a diagonal row along the ceiling with four spotlights installed in a corner and four cylindrical light sensors hung in line among the speakers. In the darkened room a diagonal ribbon of light on the floor directs gallery visitors. The words ’note’ and ‘tone’ are printed on the floor at each end of the room.{br}When a visitor blocks the light, he/she activates four sounds : a repeated monosyllable, a violin phrase , a woman’s voice softly humming, and a sound that is either traffic or surf.{br}ln some ways suggestive of participatory theatre, ''Quartet #1 for Four (Subsequent) Listeners'' is programmed for social interaction.{br}The installation invites the anonymous observer/auditor to perform acts of sensory engagement, which disrupt patterns of perception. For every action there is a prerecorded aural reaction in Laurie Anderson's installation.

Il s’agit en fait d’une pseudo cabine téléphonique. Le spectateur-expérimentateur entre dans la cabine, décroche le combiné et le porte à son oreille: il peut alors entendre deux voix, celle de Laurie Anderson (préalablement enregistrée sur une bande) et sa propre voix. Le spectateur entend les mots qu’il a prononcés avec un retard (un décalage plutôt) de 0,75 seconde. Ainsi la cabine téléphonique donne la possibilité au spectateur-auditeur de participer à un dialogue avec l’artiste. Mais on comprend assez vite que ceci est un faux dialogue comme le remarque très justement Jessica Prinz :{br}« Dans la pseudo-cabine téléphonique ''Numbers Runners'' (1978), les auditeurs deviennent locuteurs, puis de nouveau auditeurs, ainsi ils sont contraints de se confronter aux mots qu’ils ont prononcés eux-mêmes. »{br}{br}Le spectateur réalise qu’il dialogue avec une machine et au-delà de ça qu’il discute avec lui-même. Parler à une machine revient donc à parler tout seul et à échouer dans la communication. Certaines personnes ont cette sensation lorsqu’elles doivent laisser un message sur un répondeur téléphonique, tandis que d’autres ont la quasi conviction d’avoir un échange avec un interlocuteur. Outil de communication moderne, le téléphone peut jouer un rôle paradoxal. L’artiste montre en effet que cet objet peut court-circuiter la communication et provoquer son échec. Et comme le souligne Laurie Anderson elle-même :{br}« La chose la plus importante est que les gens apprennent à communiquer et à se parler. Les appareils électroniques ne sont que des médiateurs. Leur efficacité dépend de la manière dont ils sont utilisés. »{br}{small}(Thomas Aucouturier, [ÉTUDE CRITIQUE D'UNE PERFORMANCE - LAURIE ANDERSON: United States Parts I-IV (1983)|http://choc.electrique.free.fr/united_states.html], 1977){/small}| {br}{br} {br}{br} !!1978 — Tape Bow Trio ---- — — ''The Kitchen, NYC, 1978'' {br}{br} |t [../files/articles/anderson/1978_tapebowtrio_600.jpg|../files/articles/anderson/1978_tapebowtrio_1000.jpg] |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t |t ''The Tape Bow Trio : Patrice Anderson, Joe Kos, Laurie Anderson.{br}All three instruments were equipped with both strings and audio tape heads mounted on the bodies of the instruments.''| {br}[../files/articles/anderson/1978_tapebowtrio2_400.jpg] [../files/articles/anderson/1978_tapebowtrio3_400.jpg]{br}{small}Tape Bow scores for "Born, Never Asked", 1980{/small} {br}{br} ---- {html} <b>Tape Bow Trio - Say Yes </b> <i>(1978)</i><br> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" width="350" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="movie" value="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" /> <param name="flashvars" value="mp3=https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/anderson/1978_tapebowtrio.mp3&bgcolor=FFFFFF&showtime=1&autoplay=0&autoreplay=0&volume=100" /> </object><br><br><i></i> <br> {/html} {small}From the CD [The Record of the Time (Sound In The Work Of Laurie Anderson)|https://www.discogs.com/fr/Laurie-Anderson-The-Record-Of-The-Time-Sound-In-The-Work-Of-Laurie-Anderson/release/4481588], Museum Kunst Palast – ISBN 3-9808208-8-2, cd 2003{/small} ---- {br}{br} {br}{br} !!1978 — Songs for the Night Driver ---- — — ''an installation of slides and audio at the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut, Dec. 1978 - Jan. 1979.'' {br}{br} |t [../files/articles/anderson/1978_songsnightdriver.jpg]|t |t |t |t |t '' ''Song for the Night Driver #3'' contains the often cited passage, "I am in my body the way most people drive their cars."{br}{br}Laurie Anderson plugs her body into technology to produce a cyborg-like character. Here sexuality is blurred in an androgynous figure, however, this is not the bachelor machine body of an earlier modernist practice. Although Anderson announces that her body is a machine: "I am in my body the way most people drive their cars", her autobiographical scripts are allegories. The car becomes the metaphor for the unconscious. The female body-machine is commodified in a familiar way, alienated from its own subjectivity. The car as feminine subject and extended (phallic) ego is analogous with the body as vehicle.'' — {small}(Ann March, In Bad futures: performing the obsolete body, ^[[Source|https://www.academia.edu/2937129/Bad_futures_Performing_the_obsolete_body]^]){/small}{br}{br}— — '' ''[United States|AUDIAanderson5]'' (1983) is framed, for instance, by the image of a Night Driver, windshield wipers monotonously moving back and forth before her, lost on the way home from work. Wearing goggles that light up like headlights, Anderson says "I am in my body the way most people drive their cars." The body, that is, is a more or less mechanical conveyance for the mind that it hauls around - and yet most people drive in their cars mindlessly, or a least carelessly. At the outset we are introduced to this Night Driver in a piece called ''[Say Hello|AUDIAanderson5]''.
