Reply to tim wood Yes true. "Within" is why I named an art piece, and I defined "experience" as the concept of what is being portrayed within the piece.

Reply to tim wood Yes I mean to convey your second quote as the actual definition. I used too many words to announce that I was making a definition. My appologies. And thank you for simplifying.
Reply to tim wood Thank-you for replying.
May you elaborate on what is being evoked from the art piece?
I decided to use the term 'within' initially as I was referring to James Turrel, Olafur Eliasson and Yayoi Kusama's work. Where the being is able to step into the artists 'world' (term used lightly to describe the artist pieces as all the artists listed here create large scale pieces) instead of viewing a piece on a wall, from a subjective point of view and how that person experiences the setting. I should go in depth before hand, I apologise.

Just what is an "ontological experience"? The work of art, presumably, exists. So does the person having the experience. So does the experience. If that's the case, what ontological concerns, issues, feelings, questions arise?

Really any piece of art that questions the nature of reality is concerned with ontology in my opinion.

Would having an experience of "thinking, therefore I am" count? Or feeling existential dread?
I don't know. I'd call those experiences something else. The former, an experience of manufactured doubt; the latter, an experience of dread.
