Hershman|
b. 1941, U.S. resides in U.S. Lynn Hershman has worked for the past 30 years in photography, site-specific public art, and video. She is credited as the first artist to create an interactive art videodisc, entitled Lorna, (1979-83). Her 52 videotapes and many interactive installations have received many international awards. In 1998 she completed a commissioned telerobotic sculpture, "Difference Engine #3," for ZKM Media Museum in Karlsruhe. It is an interactive installation within a multi-user environment featuring museum visitor-replicating avatars, who have a life cycle all their own. She was awarded the Golden Nica Prize at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria, for "Difference Engine #3." In 1989, her feature length video, "Longshot," won the Grand Prize at the Montbelliard Festival in France, and the Montreal Video Festival. Another work, "Seeing Is Believing," won the First Prize in 1991 at Vigo, Spain. Her ongoing electronic diary, "First Person Plural," has won numerous awards worldwide, including at the 1996 Berlin Film Festival. In 1995, Hershman was the first woman to receive both a Tribute and a Retrospective at the San Francisco International Film Festival. In 1994, she was awarded (with director Peter Greenaway and theorist Jean Baudrillard) the prestigious Siemens Media Prize by the ZKM, which cited her as being the "most influential woman working in new media." Hershman is a Professor of Art at the University of California, Davis, and is the author of Clicking In, Hotlinks to a Digital Culture, published by Bay Press. She has had over 200 exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the world. Her artwork is included in such collections as The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Seattle Art Museum, Seattle; The D.G.
