《沙中房间》是由美国艺术家安德森和中国台湾艺术家黄心健所共同合作的虚拟现实互动作品，并在第74届威尼斯影展VR竞赛片单元中，成功摘下了“最佳VR体验奖”。其中的巨大黑板是一个象征人类记忆的符号，虽然可以不断地擦拭覆写，但旧有的记忆却残留不去。无数的巨型黑板建构了浩瀚的虚拟空间，犹如巨大的记忆迷宫；观众随着安德森的声音引进入梦幻般的世界，在虚拟现实中自由飞行。作品包含了八个不同的房间，其中粉尘之房中有如同星云旋转的文字银河；声之房中参与者的话语或歌唱会转化成雕塑。这些独特的房间将抽象符号转化为具象、可与之互动的实体，让观众身在其中，探索文字与记忆的连结。

A unique concert film, 6 October 2001

Author: craigjclark from Haddonfield, NJ


It's hard to imagine anyone else writing, directing and visualizing a film quite like this. Essentially a record of Laurie Anderson's "Mister Heartbreak" tour, this concert film is mostly comprised of songs and music with a smattering of spoken word pieces thrown in for good measure. Her more recent concerts have been a bit more subdued, so this is a good chance to see her with all the bells and whistles (so to speak).

As for the performances, Anderson is radiant and off-the-wall as usual, and her back-up band is top-notch, including such talented players as Adrian Belew, David Van Tieghem and Joy Askew (with whom Anderson shares an amusing phone call in the middle of the show). And William S. Burroughs even waltzes through from time to time.

Recommended for Laurie Anderson fans, and -- along with her "Collected Videos" -- could make her some new ones.
