Laurie Anderson: Big Science (1981) Wearing opaque white glasses during one of her performance pieces, Laurie Anderson was photographed by video producer Greg Shifrin in a grainy, fuzzy still shot. She liked it enough to try to restage it with another photographer, with no luck. So she heavily retouched Shifrin's image, adding a sci-fi visual to the album's experimental vibe. -- JC
