A 1998 film by Lynn Hershman Leeson

Running time: 1 hour 24 minutes

Tilda Swinton embodies Lady Ada Lovelace, the mathematics genius who developed what became the world’s first computer language one hundred years before computers were invented (and the daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron). Her story is channeled through Emmy, a computer scientist researching artificial life.
