Betsey Biggs is an artist and composer working with sound, video, interactivity, installation and performance. Her work aims to engage the audience, to expose the beautiful in the mundane, and to explore the tension between spontaneity and form.

Biggs studied creative writing and music at Colorado College, performing with Stephen Scott's Bowed Piano Ensemble and various rock bands. After several years working in film and video she returned to Mills College to study music and sound with Pauline Oliveros and Fred Frith. She is currently completing her Ph.D. at Princeton University, where she is researching the uses and meanings of sonic participation in new media art.

Upcoming projects include an instructional piece for orchestra; an interactive audiovisual installation, "You That," which revisits a Bob Dylan anti-war song; and a series of audiovisual portraits of a small town, Trinidad, Colorado.
