Kevin Peter He is a Brooklyn-based, Shanghai-raised artist and director working across performance, installation, and cinematic media. His work explores technological progress reshape bodies, relationships, and the living world. Through performances and installations, he examines how control and agency are distributed between bodies, tools, operators, and the systems that mediate perception.

Drawing on a background in dance and a career spanning technology and film (Apple, DreamWorks Animation, R/GA, ZeroSpace), Kevin creates works that engage bodies, living matter, and technical systems. He builds tools, sculptural devices, and responsive systems that translate live input into image, sound, light, and virtual space. He is especially interested in the parts of these systems that are usually hidden: setup, calibration, translation, and the labor that makes technology feel seamless. By bringing those processes into the work, he asks what remains in the performer’s or audience’s control, what is shaped by the system, and what emerges between them.

He is a Collider Fellow at Lincoln Center, an artist member at Onassis ONX, and co-director of the real-time club theatre organization Diskokina. Previously, he was a resident at NEW INC and ASU MIX Center, and served as Creative Director of the virtual production studio ZeroSpace, where he led immersive productions for CHANEL, Cartier, NVIDIA, and others. He holds a master’s from NYU ITP, where he also taught as an adjunct professor. His work has been performed, exhibited, and presented at Gray Area, the New Museum, MUTEK Montréal, Yale School of Art, USC School of Cinematic Arts, SXSW, Tribeca Festival, Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival, Festival Internacional de la Imagen Bogotá, and elsewhere.
