Welcome

Shadow Mountain is an experimental research and artmaking framework that combines artmaking, technology, and place to expose and articulate the paranoia embedded within systems of state and corporate control. This includes militarized surveillance, control, and violence, and the technologized processes that continuously reinforce and expand these systems.

Sites

Shadow Mountain often works through specific sites as destinations for interpretation. We engage landscapes, aeroscapes, and exoscapes to explore how militarization operates across land, sky, and atmosphere. These zones where militarized systems are built, tested, and activated are where their underlying logics become visible and their psychological dimensions are made physical.

Artifacts, Exhibitions, and Site Visits

These investigations result in a range of artifacts including interactive data visualizations, maps, sculptural works, wireless networks, video installations, and sound works. Additionally, the Shadow Mountain Hiking Club brings small groups together to traverse especially potent sites and interpret them firsthand.
