Pioneering the use of networked data and telepresence to address the issue of surveillance, Hershman Leeson created her first net-based artworks in this period. CybeRoberta<\/em> (1996) consists of a robotic doll with webcams in her eyes, that can be controlled from a website. Synthia the Stock Ticker<\/em> (2000) is a networked sculpture in which the behavior of a female character is determined by the changes in the stock market, in real time.Produced at a later moment, Present Tense<\/em> (2012) feeds on real time networked data to reflect water toxicity in Silicon Valley, addressing the effects of technology on the natural environment and our well being.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
