Jessica Goehring (b. 1983, New York) lives and works in Los Angeles. Goehring’s practice investigates the interplay between personal technology and physical space, using digital tools and AI to craft kinetic, immersive works. Inspired by the Light and Space Movement of Southern California, she bridges digital and analog mediums, creating holographic pieces that transform and respond to their environment.
Her work incorporates layered screenshots from iPhone photos, text messages, memes, TikTok videos, painting and AI-generated imagery, weaving a "time net" that shifts and evolves in tandem with its surroundings. These layered narratives echo the rapid transformations of perception in our digital age, reflecting the constant flux of contemporary life.
Drawing from James Turrell’s exploration of light and space, Goehring uses delicate layers of organza to emulate the lenticular and pulsating qualities of holograms and digital screens. As Turrell famously noted, “We eat light, drink it in through our skins,” Goehring reinterprets this idea for an era dominated by synthetic light and screens. Her work reclaims this ubiquitous digital experience, creating depth and space that lives off-screen and invites viewers into an embodied interaction with light, texture, and time.
Through this synthesis of technology, material, and environment, Goehring crafts immersive installations that feel at once ephemeral and anchored, offering a reflection on how we navigate a world increasingly shaped by the digital realm.
Recent exhibitions include Looking West The Santa Monica Art Museum, suspended, unsited at Foyer-LA, Stranger Things at Here Gallery, Pittsburgh, and End Demo at Epoch Gallery.
Her work has been reviewed in the German publication GalleryTalk for her 2020 NFT Project and for End demo at Epoch Gallery.
Goehring is a recent recipient of Art on the Outside Public Sculpture for The City of West Hollywood and her piece titled LightWave, a 60” x 72” kinetic work inspired by the California Light and Space Movement is now on view at the Hollywood ARC until June 2025.
