Suzanne Treister was born in 1958 in London, United Kingdom, where she currently lives and works.

Initially recognized in the 1980s as a painter, Treister subsequently became a pioneer in the digital/new media/web based field at the beginning of the 1990s. She has since evolved a large body of work that encompasses drawing, video, installation and photography. Treister's practice engages with eccentric narratives and unconventional bodies of research, such as alchemy, extrasensory perception and conspiracy theories, which she uses to reveal the structures that bind power, identity and knowledge.

Often spanning several years, her projects propose fantastic reinterpretations of given taxonomies that suggest the existence of surreptitious unseen forces at work in the world, whether corporate, military or paranormal. A number of Treister’s projects, including “Hexen 2039” (2006) and “Vesna” (2006), involve her alter ego and avatar Rosalind Brodsky, a delusional woman living between 1970 and 2058, who believes herself capable of time travel, and of working at a fictional top-secret governmental organization called the Institute of Militronics and Advanced Time Interventionality (IMATI).

Suzanne Treister has recently presented solo exhibitions and projects at D21 Kunstraum, Leipzig (2012), DEATH BE KIND, Melbourne, Australia (2011), Alma Enterprises, London (2009), Annely Juda Fine Art, London (2008), Galerie Lorenz, Frankfurt (2008), P.P.O.W., New York (2008) and Kunstverein Langenhagen, Germany (2008).

Her work has also been shown as part of Mutatis Mutandis, curated by Catherine David, Secession, Vienna, Austria (2012); Papier a en-tete (Letterhead ), Cabinet du livre d'artiste, Rennes II University Gallery, France (2012); The Curator's Egg, Altera Pars, Anthony Reynolds Gallery, London (2012); Remise en Jeu, La Kunsthalle Mulhouse Centre d'art contemporain, France (2011); Everyday, Ruskin Gallery, Cambridge School of Art, England (2011) ; Nouvelles du Jour, JTM Gallery, Paris, France (2011); 4x6 inches, Galerie Lorenz, Frankfurt, Germany (2010); Art numérique de la Collection de l'Espace Multimedia Gantner, Galerie de la Scene Nationale, Le Granit Belfort, France (2010); Cross-fades.
