Last fall, while on tour with her new performance piece, Homeland, Laurie participated in the Art, Technology, and Culture Colloquium at the University of California, Berkeley. As part of the event, Laurie joined the series curator, Berkeley professor Ken Goldberg, for an hourlong discussion. As BoingBoing reports, the audio portion of the interview, which centered around Homeland and the political issue it addresses, is now available at the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive site.
The Museum says Homeland "includes songs and stories that create a poetic and political portrait of contemporary American culture. Conceived as one long piece of music, Homeland moves through many worlds, from Greek tragedy to American business models, addressing the current obsession with fear, violence, and security."
