In
1995 Suzanne Treister created the fictional alter ego Rosalind
Brodsky, a delusional time traveller who believes herself to be
working at the Institute of Militronics and Advanced Time Interventionality
(IMATI) in the twenty-first century.
Consisting
of drawings, interventions, a film, a website, a book and an event,
HEXEN2039 charts Brodsky's para-scientific research towards the
development of new mind control technologies for the British Military.
HEXEN
2039 uncovers/constructs links between conspiracy theories, occult
groups, Chernobyl, witchcraft, the US film industry, British Intelligence
agencies, Soviet brainwashing, behaviour control experiments of
the US Army and recent practices of its Civil Affairs and Psychological
Operations Command (PSYOP), in light of alarming new research
in contemporary neuroscience.
HEXEN
2039 was originally shown across 5 London venues in 2006 including
Chelsea Space, the Science Museum, the Warburg Institute, the
British Museum, the Goethe Institute and Ognisko Polskie.
HEXEN 2039 was later shown around the UK and internationally in
different forms.
