I first learned of avant-garde artist Laurie Anderson from a compendium of photographs by Annie Leibovitz, with one of the photos showing Anderson. My mom explained to me what Anderson was famous for. I've now gotten around to seeing Anderson's experimental documentary "Heart of a Dog", focusing on her love of her pet dog Lolabelle. In the process, Anderson also addresses the proliferation of security cameras and similar things after the 9/11 attacks.
What is the connection between these topics, you might ask? Maybe that question isn't meant to have an answer. The documentary is poetic and philosophical. Not any sort of masterpiece, but I like how Anderson told the story. She is one clever artist, and I recommend the documentary.
