Sarah Rothberg creates playful, poetic, usually-a-bit-weird experiences that invite you to reconsider your relationship to the world around you. These take many forms ranging from VR/AR to installation, performance, video, writing, workshops. The artist’s experiences exist in a variety of contexts: at galleries, museums, festivals, on google docs, at the consumer electronics expo, screens in the NYC Subway system, zoom calls, secret twitter accounts, or MoMA. Some hosts have included: bitforms gallery, rhizome, NRW-forum, MTA Arts, Sotheby’s S2, CultureHub, Gray Area Foundation, Apple stores around the world. The artist is a 2023 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow.
Rothberg is on the full-time faculty at NYU (interactive media at ITP), a member of ONX Studio, and a mentor/former-member at NEW INC. Rothberg is also part of collaboratives: MORE&MORE UNLIMITED, which facilitates workshops for imagining changed worlds, and IS THIS THING ON? a post-web2 experiment in artist-driven livestreaming.
