THE ELECTRONIC DIARY derives from feminist performances in the 1970’s . Both are concerned with documentation and articulation of identity. THE ELECTRONIC DIARY, however, is specifically designed to be electronically distributed to a mass audience. Each video is produced privately, using no camera person or technicians. The completed works are, paradoxically, widely distributed and internationally broadcast.
LYNN HERSHMAN-LEESON is an artist who uses many media (performance, text, interactive installation, film, photography and video). All of her works address issues of identity and particularly female identity as well as the conflicted and corrupted possiblilities involving voyeurism, self-reflection and the seduction of media.
