Suzanne Treister

suzanne treister

is an artist based between London and the French Pyrenees. A pioneer of digital and new media art since the early 1990s, her work blends research, fiction, and taxonomy to explore emerging technologies, occult systems, and speculative futures. She has exhibited at Tate Modern, ZKM, HKW, Centre Pompidou-Metz, and major biennials including Istanbul, Seoul Mediacity, and Ljubljana.

scientific dreaming (2022)

Scientific Dreaming stems from a series of sci-fi writing workshops led by Suzanne Treister at CERN in Geneva. The project invited scientists to imagine speculative futures based on hypothetical breakthroughs, exposing both utopian possibilities and potential risks. By engaging scientists in acts of imaginative speculation, Treister sought to expand unconscious creativity beyond rational paradigms, enabling visions of worlds shaped by science yet not bound by it. The resulting film reflects on the relationship between scientific discovery, cultural imagination, and the unknown, suggesting that the future of science may depend as much on dreams as on data.
