Lynn Hershman Leeson

  • Artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson is acclaimed for the pioneering use of new technologies through which she deals with issues such as identity in a time of consumerism, privacy in a era of surveillance, interfacing of humans and machines, and the relationship between real and virtual worlds. Her extensive career focuses on the changing relationship between the body and technology which led to her innovative work with artificial intelligence, biological computing, dna manipulation including bio printed body parts. Hershman Leeson’s work, more recently focuses on the ethical context surrounding genetics. As a film director she wrote, directed and produced *Strange Culture*, *Conceiving Ada* and *Teknolust*, all starring Tilda Swinton, which were in the Sundance Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival and her ground-breaking documentary *!Women Art Revolution* in 2011 has been screened at major museums internationally, also The Digital Art Museum in Berlin and Siggraph recognized her work with the develop digital art award (d.daa), for Lifetime Achievement Awards. Her retrospective of 2015, Civic Radar, organized by ZKM mediamuseum is currently at the Wilhelm Lehmbruch Museum. The accompanying catalogue CIVIC RADAR edited by Peter Weibel and published by Hatje Cantz and distributed by DAP was released in April 2016.
