Nero Chenxuan He is a Beijing-born educator, architectural designer, and multimedia artist whose work investigates how human, machine, and material agencies make things together. He leads HeXagōn {分集研究所}, developing quasi-autonomous procedures across artificial intelligence, machine vision, robotics, simulation, fabrication, and phygital environments. Through productive misuse and unconventional workflows, his practice questions how authorship, judgment, and consequence are redistributed when neither designer nor machine acts alone.
His work moves between architecture, moving image, robotic performance, material experimentation, large-scale projection, and public digital media. It has been presented through the Venice Biennale, Osaka Expo, galleries and museums, and permanent urban digital-art collections in Asia, Europe, and the United States. His interdisciplinary collaborations have extended architectural representation toward scientific and planetary scales, including projection-based visualization developed with scientists around nuclear-fusion research. He has also been invited by the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) to develop and teach a public digital-art program and selected as an artist-in-residence at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai. His ongoing writing includes the Coalescence series and Quasi-Autonomous Design: Toward an Ecology of Co-Intelligence.
He is an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University’s Huckabee College of Architecture, where he directs the He Quasi-Design Lab and develops teaching around emerging forms of human-machine collaboration and material intelligence. Previously, he was a Visiting Professor at Virginia Tech and taught at SCI-Arc, where he received his Master of Architecture. His professional experience includes Testa & Weiser, Zaha Hadid Architects, Information Based Architecture, Wei Architects, and collaboration with Dream the Combine. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
