Filmmaker and pioneering multi-media artist Lynn Hershman Lesson, who presented her groundbreaking film Strange Culture at Symposium C6, was recently featured in the SEED Salon. In a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation with Standford archaeologist Michael Shanks, Hershman Leeson talks about presence, identity and history in the digital age. On her singular approach to melding aesthetics and technology she says, “I like to pull forward the things that we’ve always thought should be invisible, and make that part of the communication structure.”
