Kevin Peter He
Kevin Peter He is a Brooklyn-based, Shanghai-raised artist and director whose work blends choreography, sculptural controllers, and mixed reality technologies. He creates live cinematic performances and installations, where cameras, bodies, and sound interact in real time to explore systems of control and agency.
With a background in film, game engines, and dance, Kevin builds speculative worlds where narrative emerges through movement, feedback, and the shifting relationship between human and machine. His sculptural interfaces serve as both filmmaking tools and choreographic instruments, transforming the act of directing into a live, embodied performance.
Shaped by experiences across contemporary China and the United States, Kevin’s work examines how technological, ecological, and architectural infrastructures influence space and human agency. His practice blurs the boundary between performance and simulation, crafting hybrid environments that are improvisational, durational, and alive.
His 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 virtual production studio ZeroSpace, Kevin has led immersive projects for Chanel, Cartier, and Nike. He holds a Master’s from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where he also taught, and a Bachelor’s in Film from USC.
