Bio
Kevin Peter He is a Brooklyn-based, Shanghai-raised artist and director. Blending choreography, sculptural controllers, and mixed reality technologies, He builds speculative worlds where cameras, bodies, and sound interact in real-time—creating live cinematic performances and installations that interrogate systems of control and agency.
Drawing from a background in film and freestyle dance, Kevin transforms game engines into living stages: responsive environments where narrative unfolds through movement, feedback, and the shifting balance between human and machine. His sculptural interfaces function as both cinematic tools and choreographic instruments, turning the act of filmmaking into a live, performative gesture.
Rooted in experiences of systemic transformation across contemporary China and the United States, Kevin’s work explores how technological, ecological, and architectural infrastructures shape environments and the agency within them. His practice blurs the boundary between performance and simulation, creating hybrid spaces that are improvisational, durational, and dynamically inhabited.
Kevin’s work has been presented at MUTEK Montréal, Tribeca Festival, SIGGRAPH, and NOWNESS. He is an artist member of Onassis ONX and the New Museum’s NEW INC. Formerly the creative director of the virtual production studio ZeroSpace, he has led immersive productions for Chanel, Cartier, and Nike. He holds a Master’s from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where he also taught as an adjunct professor, and a Bachelor’s in Film from USC.
