LYNN HERSHMAN LEESON 林恩·赫舍曼·利森
b. 1941, works and lives in San Francisco, California
In her video work “Logic Paralyzes the Heart”, Hershman Leeson raises questions which arose several decades ago and continue to this day, concerning the integration of the machine and the human form. On the 60th anniversary of its creation, a cyborg, played by the actress Joan Chen, critically and self-reflectively questions its own past, future, and existence. The cyborg performs a monologue, oscillating between its desire to be more human and the dangers of fragmentation and reconfiguration of the human body into uncontrollable data streams.
