44. The Fantasy Beyond Control, Hershman, 1990.

  • 1979-1983 Hershman's Lorna is thought to be the first interactive video art installation
  • The piece was a a woman, Lorna, sitting at home watching television.  The person looking at this had a remote, as did Lorna, and operate the remote to make choices (mock survey, selectable objects) all of which could branch out into more general narratives of the piece.
  • Her work was both installation and performance
  • Language of video and film was reintroduced and situated for a more interactive world
