Laetitia Sonami, born in France in 1957, moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1978 to study at Mills College with Robert Ashley, David Behrman and Terry Riley, graduating in 1980. In 1991, for a performance at the Ars Electronica festival in Austria, she created an electronic glove that responds to movement, the "Lady Glove". For 25 years she used that "instrument" to create soothing abstract noisescapes, but refused to be recorded, conceiving
sound as an intangible, impermanent moment.
In the 1990s Sonami began experimenting with neural networks.
