Carrie Bodle is a visual and sound artist whose current work explores site-specific, spatialized sound installations that concern the relationships between art and science, translating inaudible or invisible phenomena into sensible experiences. Recent works have taken the form of temporary, large-scale public art installations such as Sonifications (2005) which gave a voice to atmospheric research at MIT's Haystack Observatory through 35 loudspeakers distributed across the facade of IM Pei's Green Building in Cambridge, MA.

Artist residencies and fellowships include Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center, IBM Watson Collaborative User Experience Group in Cambridge, MA and 911 Media Arts Center/Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, WA. Recently she was included on the Washington State Arts Commission Public Artist Roster and King County 4 Culture Public Artist Registry. Bodle received her Master's of Science in Visual Studies from the MIT Visual Arts Program where she worked with Krzysztof Wodiczko, Joan Jonas, and Antoni Muntadas.  In Columbus, Ohio she worked as an assistant for Ann Hamilton (2000-2003) and since 2006 has been a visiting lecturer at the University of Washington in the School of Art. Her work has been shown at the Location One Gallery in NYC, the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, MA, and webcast by radioartemobile through the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, CAVS, at MIT.
