“An extraordinary book published by an artist. A memoir which is not linear at all. It’s kind of a dynamic archive. That’s what I like so much about it. There are movements, there are technologies, there are different identities, there is also resistance in it. The book is like performative object of our life written by an artist who has always been ahead of our time. Super pioneering. One of the first artist who worked with A.I, touchscreen,.. addressing new technologies and themes like surveillance, artificial intelligence, art and cinema, problematics of visibility, the artist in the age of big data… It’s a super innovative form of doing a memoir because it’s always oscillating between the very personal, culture and history, alter egos, childhood,.. It’s a biography of an artist who is many. Lynn Hershman is many. It’s a time capsule of the future really. It shows avatars, databases, and machine intelligence at super early stage. Her work is also very connected to the assistance and collaboration between the artist, the institution and the machine. » Hans Ulrich Obrist”
