An author of eleven books including Interactive Excellence: Defining and Developing New Standards for the Twenty-first Century, Schlossberg’s artworks have also appeared in solo exhibitions and museum collections in the United States and around the world.

[4] Schlossberg graduated from Manhattan's Birch Wathen School then took his undergraduate and post-graduate education at Columbia University eventually earning a Ph.D. in Science and Literature in 1971.

[3][5][6] His thesis, which was later published as a book, was an imaginary conversation between Albert Einstein and Samuel Beckett, an idea that Schlossberg conceived while napping at Columbia’s philosophy library.

[7] One of his advisors in Columbia was mathematician and philosopher Jacob Bronowski, and was also mentored by futurist Buckminster Fuller.

[9] His style has been described as usage of words and image, through unconventional media, to create visual poetry in his art.

[12] Schlossberg's first foray into interactive design came in 1977, when he was hired to develop exhibits for the Brooklyn Children's Museum.
