Bio

Kevin Peter He is a Shanghai-raised, Brooklyn-based artist working across film, live performance, and game engines to create living stories—narratives shaped not only by human intent, but by the evolving systems, infrastructures, and technologies that sustain them.

Rooted in his background in cinema and dance, and shaped by his work with real-time technologies, Kevin’s practice treats systems not merely as tools for storytelling, but as the very conditions through which stories emerge—embodied spaces where improvisation, containment, and adaptation coexist. His works often blur the boundary between observer and participant, with the camera functioning not just as a device of capture, but as an embodied interface: one that frames, mediates, and actively reshapes the world it surveys.

Influenced by the accelerated urbanization and shifting ideological terrains of both contemporary China and the United States, Kevin draws from firsthand experience of systemic transformation—political, economic, and architectural—that conditions how we move through and make sense of the world. These formative perspectives continue to inform his ongoing exploration of control, agency, and progress across virtual and physical environments.

Kevin’s work has been showcased at SIGGRAPH, MUTEK Montreal, Tribeca Festival, NOWNESS, and Onassis ONX. The former creative director of ZeroSpace, he has collaborated with institutions such as Lincoln Center, Cartier, and Nike, bridging emerging technologies with experimental storytelling. Kevin holds a Master’s from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where he also teaches, and a Bachelor’s in Film from USC.
