A reaction to the 2015 Gold King Mine waste water spill, where three million gallons of contaminated wastewater was released to the Animas River. The artist made an installation which transforms real-time data from water quality sensors into vibrations that activate metal panels and create an immersive sound environment.

In 2011, House used OpenPaths and Google Street View to track the location of a stolen iPhone and create a reenactment of the thief's journey.

In 2009, House and collaborator Sue Huang (as Knifeandfork) were social practice artists-in-residence at MOCA in Los Angeles where they produced several projects. In Trying the Hand of God, they converted the sculpture plaza into a stadium with astroturf, goalposts, and bleachers, and filmed 64 versions of Diego Maradona's famous "Hand of God" goal from the 1986 World Cup. Members of the audience played the role of Maradona.

Knifeandfork received a 2007 Rhizome commission and were artists-in-residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles in 2009. House was a resident of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in 2012 and was concurrently a member of the Research and Development Lab at The New York Times. His work at the Times with personal data was featured in Time magazine.

House graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Columbia University, where he studied at the Computer Music Center. He subsequently received a master's degree from Chalmers tekniska högskola in Gothenburg, Sweden, and was active in the local experimental music scene. House formed the Knifeandfork media art collective in 2004 with classmate Sue Huang and became a member of the psychogeography collective Glowlab upon returning to New York City.
