Hershman Leeson is a pioneer of interactive art, having developed site-specific installations and narrative artworks that responded to the presence or the input of viewers. Lorna<\/em> (1984) was the first artwork to use laserdisc technology, followed by Deep Contact<\/em> (1984). Both installations invite the viewer to interact with a fictional woman, either by exploring her world through a pre-recorded narrative or touching her body on a touchscreen. Later, Room of One\u2019s Own<\/em> (1993) would introduce the concept of surveillance in a piece that tracks the viewer\u2019s eye, while America\u2019s Finest <\/em>(1990-94) put the spectator in the center of his or her own act of aggression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
