Hexen 2039

[Ya Sam]

Suzanne Treister’s “Hexen 2039” is a fantastical and perpetually expanding 
art project involving the artist’s alter ego, Rosalind Brodsky — a 
para-scientific researcher of the future who is occupied with new 
military-occult technologies being developed for use in psychological 
warfare. Like some character out of a novel by Thomas Pynchon or Umberto 
Eco, Brodsky is a delusional time traveler who works for IMATI (Institute of 
Militronics and Advanced Time Interventionality) in the year 2039, 
investigating ancient and contemporary systems, especially occult and 
military histories.Through drawings, diagrams, videos, a Web site and 
site-specific interventions (or “performances” in art lingo), Brodsky mines 
the complex and seemingly endless links between conspiracy theories about 
behavior-control experiments by the U.S. government, Soviet brainwashing 
experiments, British intelligence agencies, occult groups, Hollywood, 
Disney, witchcraft in Eastern Europe and neuroscientific research connected 
to the U.S. military’s Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations (PSYOP) 
program.
