Artist: Suzanne Treister - Paul Ferguson - 05-20-2026
"Following her recent solo exhibition at Modern Art Oxford, the British artist Suzanne Treister, an early adopter of digital and web-based practices, is currently participating in the major group show ‘Pixel Pioneers’ at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam. Taking the form of a tarot deck, a divination aid invented in the 15th century, her celebrated work HEXEN 2.0 (2009-2011) explores the often-shadowy Postwar origins of our contemporary digital terrain, from cybernetics to the early Internet, government surveillance to military research. Complemented by alchemical diagrams, photo-text pieces, a video, and a website, Treister’s tarot cards are, she has said, ‘meant to be used as a tool, allowing thought to take unexpected turns and directions, and perhaps result in “positive” action in the world.’
