Admission is always free; tickets are not required
Chad Mount’s work is grounded in curiosity and guided by discovery. He is drawn to light, rhythm, and pattern—subtle forces that reveal themselves through patient observation and repetition. Frequency and Perspective invites viewers into an immersive environment shaped by geometry, light, and movement.
In this installation, Mount employs projection mapping, laser light, generative visuals, and sound to create spaces that respond to presence and perception. While the work integrates both analog and digital tools, its origins lie in lived experience, quiet moments of observation, meditation, and time in nature. These experiences often lead to what he calls “micro-awe”, fleeting but powerful moments of inspiration that fuel his creative process.
Mount is particularly fascinated by the visual language of nature including fractals, spirals, and other symbolic geometries that appear across the natural world and the cosmos. These forms feel at once familiar and ancient, as if they carry knowledge long remembered in the body but forgotten in the mind.
At its core, Frequency and Perspective offers a playful invitation to shift perception. It seeks to gently interrupt the familiar and awaken the senses, creating a space where stillness becomes signal and perception transforms into experience.
Chad Mount is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice spans light-based installations and experimental media, often using projection mapping and time-based technologies to sculpt space and perception. For more than a decade, light has been his primary material, a focus that has profoundly shaped how he experiences spatial relationships and the transformative effects of illumination on form, color, and atmosphere.
Drawing from natural systems, symbolic languages, meditation, and emerging technologies, Mount creates works that invite curiosity, joy, and moments of perceptual shift. His exploration of the living world has led to experiments with biological systems, such as bioluminescent algae and genetically engineered fragrant moss, which he has incorporated alongside more traditional analog and digital art forms.
Mount approaches each project as a process of discovery, allowing materials, concepts, and experiments to guide him until the work reveals itself. His art has been exhibited in galleries, public spaces, and collaborative projects across the United States and internationally, engaging audiences through immersive, sensory-rich environments that challenge and expand the boundaries of perception.
