02 / About Me
Nate Mohler (b. 1997, Los Angeles, CA) is an emerging media artist and designer, who integrates physical installations with technology to build conceptual and avant-garde experiences. A 2019 UCLA graduate with a B.A. in Design | Media Arts, Mohler is intrigued with the fusion of conceptual art and technology to support connectivity and social activism with unconventional space and sound. His work focuses on eliciting action and question through digital mediums such as projection mapping, fabric installations, light sculpture, and video art. In 2019, Mohler completed his largest public art installation; Culver Current, which illuminates the courtyard of City Hall in Culver City with video art reflective of Culver City’s neighborhood. More recently Mohler has produced multiple large scale installations including “Questions for the Curious Orchard”, “Rise and Fall”, “Entanglement”, “Be(coming) to Terms”, and “The Eventual Unraveling of Everything“ which explored humanitys’ relationship to nature and to each other. Mohler has been actively researching how creative application of machine intelligence can allow for deeper exploration and the development of new aesthetics in art and animation. However, too much focus on Ai can get tiresome and repetitive; In an effort to integrate more human elements Mohler often introduces personal memories, such as, swimming naked in a pool, hiking through cities and using his own photographs as base inputs for his video work. By fusing his photos and film with tools such as neural style transfer, Mohler is harnessing the machine's ability to recognize complex patterns and hallucinate a painted world. Working to challenge the definition of fine art, Mohler actively works to further the digital art movement and help open the eyes of traditional collectors to digital mediums that are conceptual, engaging, and thought provoking. Nate is a sculptor, programmer, designer, artist, director, producer and curator. Nate's works bridge both the technology world with the fine art and architecture community.
