Betsey Biggs

Member Since April 21, 2005

Betsey Biggs is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work in music, sound, video and installation 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. The New Yorker writes that her work is "psychologically complex, exposing how we orient ourselves with our ears." 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 cinematically engage with their surroundings. Betsey received her Ph.D. at Princeton University, writing about public sound art, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University.
