Hillary Leone (born 1962) is an American conceptual artist who works across installation, sculpture, video, photography, digital, and writing mediums. Her work has focused on the intersection of art, science, and technology.

Leone collaborated with Jennifer Macdonald under the name of Leone & Macdonald for over a decade.[1] [2] [3] Their collaborative work was distinguished for its poetic use of materials to address charged contemporary issues.[4] [5] They were among the first female collaborative artist pairs in the United States[6] [7] [8] [9] and among the first women to address AIDS directly in their work.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] Their work was featured in the 1993 Whitney Biennial[15] and is in the Whitney Museum's permanent collection.[16]

Leone expanded into digital media in 2000, founding the creative studio, Cabengo. Leone directed Supreme Decision,[17] one of the first online civics games developed for Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's iCivics initiative.[18] Her digital work for Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros,[19] the Smithsonian Museum,[20] [21] and Contemporary Jewish Museum[22] earned recognition from the Webby Awards,[23] South by Southwest,[24] MuseWeb,[25] and Applied Arts. Other projects include directing the redesign of the Harvard Graduate School of Design website.[26]

Leone received monies from 2030 Visions to develop Synch.Live, an art experience examining human cooperation. Leone & Macdonald are two-time National Endowment for the Arts grant,[27] three-time Art Matters Foundation Fellowship,[28] Penny McCall Foundation grant, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation grant recipients, among others.

Leone was an adjunct professor at the Rhode Island School of Design and the University of California, San Diego. She was a visiting artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, Cooper Union, Brown University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and others.
