Charley Peters | Artist / Public Art

Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of ghost stories while I paint, specifically podcasts in which ordinary people recount their encounters with ghosts.

Somewhere between the studio, nineteenth-century spiritualism, Susan Hiller, Poltergeist, holograms, algorithms and AI, I started wondering if every generation invents the ghosts it needs.

My new essay on Substack isn’t really about ghosts. It’s about the invisible systems we live alongside every day, the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of them, and the role art plays in giving form to things we can’t quite explain.

I hope you enjoy it 👻
