Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian House is an interdisciplinary artist and assistant professor who investigates the rhythms of human and nonhuman systems through sound, subversive technology, and data-driven research. With a PhD in Computer Music from Brown and a background in computer science, he bridges rigorous academic scholarship and experimental artmaking, having published in Leonardo and exhibited at institutions like MoMA, LA MOCA, and Ars Electronica. His work has been recognized in mainstream outlets including The New York Times Magazine, WIRED, and TIME’s “Best Inventions,” yet he consistently positions aesthetic projects as probes into political and ecological interdependence. Having held roles from Creative Technologist at The New York Times to Mellon Associate Research Scholar at Columbia’s Center for Spatial Research, he combines production-scale technical fluency with conceptual practice. Based in Amherst, MA, he directs studio teaching and digital media curricula while continuing multidisciplinary research that makes infrastructural and biological systems audible and critically legible. An often-unexpected thread in his career is the blend of museum-scale exhibitions with published academic theory, allowing him to iterate between public-facing installations and peer-reviewed discourse.
