Pioneering conceptual artist Lynn Hershman Leeson has spent six decades exploring technology, identity, and surveillance with prophetic vision. Long before digital avatars became commonplace, she created groundbreaking works like interactive touch screen installations and the Roberta Breitmore series, inhabiting a fictional alter ego with IRL credentials. Her prescient art warned of technology’s perils while celebrating transformation. From unconventional venues to acclaimed films starring Tilda Swinton, she carved her path as a visionary who foresaw our hyper-connected world.
Join Leeson and art historian Margot Norton for an evening of video screenings and insights into a revolutionary career and her new book Private I.
