Woman, Art & Technology is a new series of interviews on Furtherfield. 
Over the next year Rachel Beth Egenhoefer will interview artists, 
designers, theorists, curators, and others; to explore different 
perspectives on the current voice of woman working in art and 
technology. "I am honored to begin this series with an interview with 
Lynn Hershman Leeson, a true pioneer in the field who has recently 
produced !Women Art Revolution- A Secret History."

Over the last three decades, artist and filmmaker Lynn Hershman Leeson 
has been internationally acclaimed for her pioneering use of new 
technologies and her investigations of issues that are now recognized as 
key to the working of our society: 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. She has been 
honored by numerous prestigious awards including the 2010-2011 d.velop 
digital art and 2009 SIGGRAPH Lifetime Achievement Awards. Hershman also 
recently received the 2009 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation 
Fellowship, an award which supported her latest documentary film !Women 
Art Revolution - A Secret History.
