Brian House is an artist who investigates the rhythms of human and nonhuman systems. Through sound, subversive technology, and multidisciplinary research, he makes our interdependencies audible in order to imagine new political realities. Past work has incorporated the sounds of urban rats, a vinyl record made from geolocation data, and field‑recordings of the infrasonic world.

House is a Creative Capital awardee and has exhibited at MoMA, Los Angeles MOCA, Ars Electronica, ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden, among other venues. He has been an artist-in-residence at MacDowell, Djerassi, Eyebeam, and The Arctic Circle expedition. The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Wire, WIRED, Hyperallergic, and TIME’s annual “Best Inventions” issue have featured his work, and his research has been published in Leonardo, Journal of Sonic Studies, Media Art Study and Theory, and e-flux Architecture. His album, Everyday Infrasound in an Uncertain World, is available from Gruenrekorder.

House holds a PhD in Computer Music & Multimedia from Brown University, and was Associate Scholar at Columbia’s Center for Spatial Research. He is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Amherst College.
