I'm guilty of mentioned "Perlite" lately. Only as a joke really. I know it can be used because it is really lightweight, but I have never tried it. As Jeff mentioned, light weight is not necessary to make something hang on the wall.

Perlite is just another one of those potential ingredients if one would want something light weight...much like vermiculite. I'm pretty sure you will lose some compression strength. I have seen all kinds of styrofoam used in mixes from ground up, beads, packing peanuts, chunks. It all works depending on what you want the final product to be.

It then needs to be burned outwith a weed burner which if you want that look of tiny holes could be a good thing. This has been my experience.
