SCIENTIFIC DREAMING
Suzanne Treister
What ideas lie waiting in the subconscious?
Weaving dreams and scientific thinking together can only invite invention. Through creative writing workshops delivered at CERN and locally, Suzanne Treister sought to unlock the hidden imaginations of expert scientific theorists and encourage dreams of future worlds. Narratives of limitless clean energy, cures for diseases, increased lifespans – and the flip side of those left behind when humanity leaps forward – emerged. Immerse yourself in speculative constellations and explore how scientifically inspired storytelling might guide us towards positive futures.
How might fiction shape reality?
Suzanne Treister is an artist whose body of work examines the existence of covert, unseen forces at work in the world. An ongoing focus of her work is the relationship between new technologies, society, alternative belief systems and the potential futures of humanity.
