Adam Trowbridge (1972-2022)

Adam Trowbridge (1972-2022) was a manner of speaking, focused on artistic research that fractured the intersection of sensation and cognition. Trowbridge was previously an assistant professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as an internationally exhibited new media artist.Adam is survived by two former spouses, his child, and his parents, Marvin and Anita Trowbridge. We request privacy at this time as we grieve.In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Red Cross in Adam’s memory.

Using new media and popular culture in a practice at the intersection of linguistics and sensational aesthetics, Trowbridge invents incidents that occur slightly above the noise level, between words that organize our communities and the chaos that lies beyond them. Materially, Trowbridge’s recent work has been in the form of theater, performance, responsive art and video.
