Jarid Mallard

Creative Technologist

Jarid Blue is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates immersive photographic installations using light projection and custom designs. Drawing inspiration from his hospitality background, Blue aims to provide positive and transformative experiences for his subjects. His signature "Light Baths" series uses projected light to transform the model's body into an interactive canvas, empowering participants to express themselves in ways they may not have thought possible.


Blue exhibits his installations and printed works extensively across the United States and internationally, and often collaborates with music and performing artists to bring his unique artistic aesthetic to their stage performances and videos. Notable art fairs he has participated in include Satellite Art Show in Miami, FL, and The Other Art Fair in Brooklyn, NY. Recently, he co-developed an immersive installation as part of a two-week residency at one of ChaShaMa's Midtown, NY locations.

Continually pushing the boundaries of his artistic practice, Blue experiments with new elements of design and projections to inspire self-expression and challenge societal norms.
