My experience at the Jentel Foundation artist residency program this past summer in Wyoming, gave me the time to explore internally and with my surroundings/environment. This time of focus gave a transformative process of thoughts and feelings into a new avenue of work with multiple dimensions/spaces/

Using randomly selected topics, several different artist statements are created by an internet statement generator. These generated statements are distributed to the participating artists, and the artists in turn create new artwork based on them.
Participating artists:
Nathalie Chikhi
Michael Covello
Shawn Pettersen
Selina Roman
Eileen Isagon Skyers
Mikaela Raquel Williams
Artist statements have seen an increasingly substantial role in gallery exhibitions and art making. The skill to articulate the processes and conceptual underpinnings of artwork has largely become a vital part of an art practice. At times, this occurs to such an extent that exhibitions seem to be little more than conceptual exercises and artwork merely reified artist statements. A Machine in the Ghost is a group exhibition and experiment in bringing the practice to its (il)logical conclusion.
The exhibition highlights the academicizing of visual art and its increasingly cerebral nature. However, it further explores the peculiar relationship between humans and technology. Machine in the Ghost is an investigation into the strange unfolding correlation between desire, expression, and algorithms as well as the ways each becomes more ingrained in the others. The exhibit title is a variation on philosopher Gilbert Ryle’s well-known phrase. It alludes to the structure behind an ever more ‘personable’ technology and the growing digital facets of modern living.
