Michelle Rosenberg is an artist and architect who makes participatory installations that investigate how we interact with sound. In a series of work called "Dynamic Headphones," Michelle modifies portable headphones as well as creates acoustic headphones that reflect and filter live sound. These projects highlight sounds in the environment that previously may have gone unnoticed. In other installations, Michelle incorporates game calls and other noisemakers to animate objects and situations. Several of these public installations allow controlled communication with wildlife. Michelle has exhibited her work at galleries including Exit Art and PS122 in New York; Western Exhibitions in Chicago; and Small A Projects in Portland, Oregon. She has created outdoor site specific installations at Socrates Sculpture Park in Queens; the Peekskill Project in Peekskill, New York; and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. She has recently lectured on the history of listening devices for Dorkbot at Location One in New York and attended The Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Michelle was born in Manchester, England to Italian and Jewish Parents. She graduated from the The Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Architecture. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
