Stephanie Rothenberg is an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of technology, economics, and science. Using speculative design and data visualization, her work explores the myths of techno-utopian futures. Past projects have focused on digital labor and virtual economies with recent work examining synthetic ecosystems envisioned as blueprints for climate repair.
Her hybrid practice spans interactive sculpture, networked installations, performance, and often defies categorization. She has been an artist-in-residence at Eyebeam, Harvestworks, and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in New York City, as well as internationally at ZK/U in Berlin and TOKAS in Tokyo.
Rothenberg’s work has been exhibited at major venues including the Sundance Film Festival, Transmediale, ZKM Center for Art and Media (Germany), and House of Electronic Arts (HeK) in Basel. Her projects have been supported by Creative Capital, the Harpo Foundation, and NYSCA, and are part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s permanent collection. Her work has been reviewed in Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, and Hyperallergic.
She is a Professor of Art at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, and affiliated faculty at Coalesce: Center for Biological Art. In 2024, she organized FEMeeting: SisterLabs, an international symposium highlighting women in art, science, and technology.
