  17. Anderson, United States Part I, 980, Orpheum TheaterMultiple disjunctive narratives. Voice through the harmonizer shifts from “voice of authority (deep, masculine) to female (her own). The woman repeatedly asks “Hello, excuse me, can you tell me where I am?” The response is “You can read the signs.” http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3307780879243212776&q=laurie+anderson&ei=tJUiSK36FYSIqgP2mpW2AQ

  18. Anderson’s United States Part I opens with her modified voice-of-authority reading: A certain American religious sect has been looking at conditions of the world during the Flood. According to their calculations, during the Flood the winds, tides and currents were in an overall southeasterly direction. This would mean that in order for Noah's Ark to have ended up on Mount Ararat, it would have to have started out several thousand miles to the west. This would then locate pre-Flood civilization somewhere in the area of Upstate New York, and the Garden of Eden roughly in New York City. Now, in order to get from one place to another, something must move. No one in New York remembers moving, and there are no traces of Biblical history in the Upstate New York area. So we are led to the only available conclusion in this time warp, and that is that the Ark has simply not left yet.

Video performance: 1977Martha Rosler, Vital Statistics of a Citizen, Simply Obtained38 minutes“I did my best to interrupt voyeurism by having a long shot – a stationary shot that fatigues the viewer and diminishes aspects of the character’s presence on the screen. It becomes boring to look at something without camera mobility and without reaction shots.
