"Duets on Ice"
In this performance Anderson played the "Self-Playing Violin". The pre-recorded music is a loop without a beginning or an end. So she wore a pair of ice skates with their blades frozen into blocks of ice, so that when the ice melted the concert was over.

"Handphone Table"
Powerful drivers which compress
and amplify sound are embedded in the table. The listener can only
hear the tape sound source by placing elbow in the depression of the
table's surface and covering the ears. Sound is conducted from tape
through driver, screw, elbow, skull. The cranial cavities effectually
become speakers.
