Prophetic Dreaming

Prophetic Dreaming is a major survey of Suzanne Treister, a pioneer of digital and multidisciplinary art whose work connects technology, power, belief and imagined futures. Coinciding with her first major UK retrospective at Modern Art Oxford, the book follows Treister from early paintings and Fictional Videogame Stills to the complex cosmologies of HEXEN 2.0 and HEXEN 5.0. Spotlighting major seminal artworks HFT The Gardener, SURVIVOR (F) and TECHNOSHAMANIC SYSTEMS, and the long-running Time Travelling adventures of Treister's alter-ego Rosalind Brodsky. Richly illustrated, with new essays by Lars Bang Larsen, Patricia Domínguez and Val Ravaglia, Prophetic Dreaming maps the occult life of computation and offers tools for thinking beyond the chaotic present.
