Fancy a cosmic trip through the future of humanity and the universe? Sounds interesting, but potentially rather terrifying: who knows what beauty, or horrors we might find? Suzanne Treister braves these possibilities and invites us to do the same with From Survivor (F) to The Escapist BHST (Black Hole Spacetime), part of the Serpentine Gallery’s digital commissions series. The multi-part work includes an illustrated artist’s book that explores artificial intelligence, cosmology and theoretical physics, as well as a mobile web app that invites people to access Treister’s work through pointing their camera phone at sky-based AR portals, where they can view and download further interactive drawings. Tresister has been exploring such vast topics and emergent technologies since the 1990s.
