Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Discover the Secrets of The Universe (1991) is from Suzanne Treister’s series of large text paintings which evolved out of her interaction with the computer and her ongoing conceptual considerations of meaning, technology, humanity, and the future. It was painted in a radically different way to her previous practice. Repeated vibrant abstract brushstrokes act as an optical illusion by revealing words. Her technique and use of text references the pixelated and digital effects she was achieving on a computer using Paint software and words connecting the digital and the hand made.
