Stephanie Rothenberg, artist and cultural anthropologist, creates work that questions the boundaries of manufactured desires. Through performance, installation and networked media the work uses the analog body to investigate our mediation with the digital as a commodity culture.

Her provocative interactions raise critical questions about our interpersonal relationship to technology and its broader socio-political implications. Referencing corporate models and their infrastructures, her work merges popular forms of advertising and market research with experiences involving role-playing and fantasy.

During a residency at Eyebeam (2007), with Jeff Crouse, Stephanie co-created Invisible Threads, a mixed reality designer jeans sweatshop within Second Life http://eyebeam.org/people/stephanie-rothenberg

and “The School of Perpetual Training”, an online training program that uses motion detection and classic arcade games to comment on the global computer video game industry.
