1960s X-Rays and Simulations: Tina Rivers Ryan Praises Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Prescience

“Lynn has always taken a clear-eyed view of the technologies that have crashed over us. Her work lays out exactly what we have to gain and what we have to lose—and asks us to see, to understand, and to make a choice.”
– Curator Tina Rivers Ryan, on two of Lynn Hershman Leeson’s early works—See Inside (1964), X-Ray Woman in Bathing Cap (1966)—on view at the Venice Biennale. “They confirmed my sense of the constancy of her commitment to exploring how the technologies we create, create us in turn—inside and out.”
