AS I LIVE, I'M HELD IN A TIME NET III (2025)
Ghost Loop xxhibition view
As I live, I am held in a time net.
Top spot, pal, I displace.
Escape lessens as I age, I am not new, I am a nonstop emitter.
Red roses run, no nettles, nor is yon sky red.
Ten animals I slam in a net, sir,
or so Tennesseans tip a
vase on.
Jessica Goehring’s work explores the interplay between personal technology, physical space, and perception, crafting immersive environments that shift and evolve in response to their surroundings. Inspired by the Light and Space Movement, she bridges digital and analog mediums, combining AI-generated imagery, personal snapshots, and delicate layers of organza to create dynamic compositions that transform with light, air, and motion. Her works challenge the static nature of art, offering ephemeral experiences that invite viewers to question the permanence of reality.
Her latest exhibition, Ghost Loop, draws from a self-reflective poem co-created with ChatGPT. Prompted to write an anagrammatic and palindromic text, ChatGPT instead produced a poetic meditation on time, aging, and the continuous flow of ideas an identity. This text became the conceptual foundation of the show, mirroring the themes of flux and layered perception that define Goehring’s work.
The exhibition features a large-scale holographic installation that captures and distorts fragments of time, light, and narrative. By weaving AI-generated visuals and layered materials, Ghost Loop becomes a space where technology, poetry, and materiality converge. The works resist a singular gaze, embodying the fluidity of contemporary life and inviting viewers to navigate shifting realities shaped by both digital and physical realms.
Goehring’s practice reclaims the ubiquitous digital experience, reinterpreting it through materiality and light. Her work offers a meditation on how we perceive and interact with an ever-changing world, reminding us that no truth is static and that reality is always more layered than it seems.
