About the work
This is a work from my current project, Technoshamanic Systems – New Cosmological Models for Survival which presents microcosmic, non-colonialist plans towards a techno-spiritual imaginary of alternative visions of survival on earth and inhabitation of the cosmos.
About the artist:
Born 1958 London, Suzanne Treister lives and works between London and the French Pyrenees. Graduated from Brighton Polytechnic (1978); St Martins School of Art (1981); and Chelsea School of Art (1982).
Treister was a pioneer in the new media field from the early 1990s, making work about emerging technologies, developing avatars and fictional worlds.

An ongoing focus of her work is the relationship between new technologies, society, alternative belief systems and the potential futures of humanity.
