Betsey Biggs is a composer and interdisciplinary artist
working with music, sound,
video, interactivity, installation and performance. Her work aims to
expose the beautiful in the mundane, to actively engage the audience,
and to transform the city into a creative interface through
psychogeographic practice. Recent projects include a theatrical work with
flutist and performer Margaret Lancaster, an outdoor mixer
powered by people's shadows and a series of downloadable
soundtracks meant for walkers to engage with their surroundings.
Betsey received her Ph.D. at Princeton University in 2009,
writing about public sound art, and
is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University.
