A sentient ecological presence—manifested as a queer omnipresent mycelial entity—guides participants on a journey through an entangled ecology. Through a series of interactive vignettes inspired by the fungal reproductive cycle, users are invited to shape and transform the virtual environment. As they progress, they encounter spores that speak in poetic passages generated by AI, trained on a unique blend of Smithsonian field research and amateur erotica. In these spaces, the scientific merges with the sensual, unveiling the earth’s erotic potential and opening new possibilities for ecological stewardship and mutual care between human and non-human life. This VR world embraces the idea that each of us possesses more than a singular, isolated body. As scholar Daisy Hildyard suggests, we have a 'second body'—one that exists through our interconnectedness with the world around us.

2025&nbsp; This showcase invites audiences to explore the turning points in the lives and creative journeys of three artists. Each began along a familiar artistic path, yet through a moment of serendipity or a bold act of courage, discovered a new creative frequency. Artistic evolution is never fixed, it often arises from unexpected moments of inspiration or self transformation. Through immersive technologies such as VR, visitors are invited to experience each story firsthand and feel how art is reborn through these pivotal encounters.

We explored how this kind of intimacy can challenge and destabilize oppressive social beliefs, opening new pathways for understanding relationships and ecological interdependence.A significant part of our discussion was dedicated to the role of language in shaping cultural paradigms. We examined how different languages offer unique ways to articulate the human experience and provide diverse answers to fundamental questions about life.

Each specimen is an inflated body processed via 3D software and placed in a virtual glass specimen box. These fungal avatars are captured mid-dance, contorting to their unique rhythms. The mycelium network's ecosystem is at the core of Honey Fungus, which nourishes, feeds, mates protects and spreads like a living internet. As viewers explore the underworld of spores and their soundscape, they encounter fungal specimens moving through a viscous liquid. These sensual specimens are an AI-generated amalgamation of erotica and exotic fungi, resulting in a colourful and complex hybrid body that is part human, part mushroom.

King’s exhibition purposefully shares the title of the 1962 ultra-widescreen American western film, which opens with this narration: “This land has a name today and is marked on maps. But the names and the marks and the land all had to be won. Won from nature and from primitive man”. This film and unnerving quote about westward expansion contextualizes the entire exhibition—not just in the artwork’s content but also its mediums. For instane, King’s stunning ultra-wide video projection directly references the format of the original film, but in the place of gallant cowboys trailblazing western trails there are two older white men, in casual sports attire, playing an eternal round of golf in the middle of the Mojave Desert—a foreboding foreshadow of the consequences of climate change. Like two ghosts, the golfers seem to be forever destined to haunt the barren landscape, not with rattling chains, but with swinging golf clubs. Rockford Art Museum is proud to host New Genres Art Space presenting Jonah King: How The West Was Won. This exhibition and its related educational programming are sponsored by Lisa and Mark Lindman. Exhibition-related materials are supported in-part by a grant from Rockford Area Arts Council. Exhibition Listing Is There Golf in Heaven?
