Rogers was a member of the Sydney-based performance action collective Post Arrivalists (1991–95). He collaborated with machine artist-engineers Triclops International between 1996 and 2000. He began re-engineering an earthquake shake table which was presented as Seismonitor.[4][5]
During 2007-08 he was artist in residence at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California. In 2010, he unsuccessfully attempted to present LAMoves in Pershing Square, Los Angeles. He performed DISASTR Hotel at the University of Sydney in April 2011. "Rogers was concerned with enacting “a symbolic field test,” demonstrating how DIY structures already exist as transitional responses suitable for disaster zones."[6]
In 2012, he was artist in residence at the Allosphere Research Facility at UC Santa Barbara, working on the Inner Earth Interpreter,[7] an immersive auditory visualised seismic data display engine for AlloSystem. In 2013, while studying the Mercalli intensity scale, Rogers designed Moment Magnitude Scale Color Schema,[8] used in the development of Earth Light Seat,[9] in Newtown, New South Wales, Australia.
He collaborated with Materials & Applications,[10] (based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles) on the 2014-15 presentation of DOMUS house, an experimental anti-seismic architecture incorporating spatialized seismic sound and light, “a contemplative space that will help people be more responsive to the larger biological and seismological environment.”[11]
