Abstract
This article examines creative approaches to making fine art by slipping and destructing the common boundaries of Modern art with Lynn Hershman Leeson. She is known for her feminist artworks and innovative films that investigates common issues within society and digital media. The author discusses the work’s significance; Leeson’s contribution to feminist art theories and its movement that has transformed the expectations and established interfaces of the art world. In her practice, she explores the surfaces between art and reality; role projection and identity in the 70s, boundaries between human and cyborg in the 80s, polarities of perspectives in the 90s, and the idea of agency and progeny in the new millennium. The article concludes with an overview of Lynn Hershman Leeson’s contributions to new media that continues to slip between interfaces and break boundaries; both in her art as well as in her activism to demand social justice for inequities in society.
