Jessica Boubetra French , b. 1989

Lives and works in Paris. 

Jessica Boubetra’s practice stands at the intersection of craft and digital field, notably through her use of 3D-printed ceramic. Her work resonates with themes often found in science fiction narratives, where technology enhances the natural world, and questions of materiality, memory, and the body are redefined through technological advancements. 

Her works can be seen as fictive artifacts from a world where natural growth is no longer purely organic, but mediated by technology, questioning what is “natural” in a post-digital age. Her sculptures explore the consequences of blending organic life with digital processes. They echo speculative futures where nature itself had been reconstructed through a digital lens. Through her hybrid practice, she questions the role of the artist in a world where machines and AI can replicate, and even surpass, human abilities.
