Kevin Peter He is a New York-based, Shanghai-raised artist and director working across performance, installation, and cinematic media. His practice examines how systems of progress reshape perception, embodiment, and human connection. Treating cameras, sensors, game engines, motion-capture systems, and mechanical devices as active performers, he creates works in which bodies and images are continuously translated, mediated, and reconfigured.

Drawing on backgrounds in dance, film, and virtual production, He builds sculptural instruments and responsive environments that convert live movement into image, sound, light, and virtual space. His work often foregrounds the operations that often remain invisible in technology: calibration, delay, delegation, feedback, and the labor required to produce immersion. In doing so, he asks where agency resides when perception is distributed across bodies, tools, operators, and computational systems.

He is a Collider Fellow at Lincoln Center and an artist member at Onassis ONX. He was previously a resident at NEW INC and ASU MIX Center, and served as Creative Director of the virtual production studio ZeroSpace. He holds a master’s degree from NYU ITP, where he also taught as an adjunct professor. His work has been performed, exhibited, and presented at Gray Area, New Museum, MUTEK Montréal, USC School of Cinematic Arts, SXSW, Tribeca Festival, Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival, Festival Internacional de la Imagen Bogotá, and elsewhere.
