Discover fantastical narratives and the covert, unseen forces at work in the world through Suzanne Treister鈥檚 explorations of society鈥檚 relationship to technology.

Prophetic Dreaming is the first major institutional retrospective by pioneering digital and para-disciplinary artist Suzanne Treister (b. 1958). Spanning more than forty years, the exhibition maps Treister鈥檚 visionary practice and investigations into new technologies, networks of power, alternative belief systems, and the futures they prefigure.

From the prophetic early paintings of the 1980s to her groundbreaking digital works of the 1990s, the exhibition charts Treister鈥檚 evolution through key projects including those of her time-travelling alter ego Rosalind Brodsky, and the influential HEXEN 2.0 series, a Tarot deck and group of alchemical diagrams connecting cybernetics, surveillance, countercultural movements and internet histories. Her recent project, HEXEN 5.0 (2023-25) continues this trajectory, critically examining AI, the climate crisis, and quantum science.

Prophetic Dreaming highlights the many astonishing, sometimes humorous and often unsettling moments of premonition which have recurred throughout Treister鈥檚 career. The exhibition reveals her prescient practice as a means of comprehending the complexities of the present while imagining new possibilities for what is yet to come.
