Betsey Biggs is an artist and composer working with sound, video, interactivity, installation and performance. Her work aims to catch glimpses of everyday transcendence, to engage the audience, and to explore the tension between spontaneity and form. When not galavanting around the world, Betsey has played in Stephen Scott's Bowed Piano Ensemble and assorted rock bands, studied with Pauline Oliveros and Fred Frith at Mills College, and is currently completing her Ph.D. at Princeton University, where she works with Paul Lansky and Perry Cook. Her collaborators have included Evidence, So Percussion, Tarab Cello Ensemble and filmmakers Amy Harrison and Jennie Livingston, and her work has been seen and heard at Issue Project Room, City Without Walls, MASSMoCA, the Berkeley Art Museum, and the Sundance Film Festival. Upcoming projects include a series of large projected videos, "Sleep," an exhibit of photographs and sounds of trash, and a viral piece for 16 hemispherical speakers.
