Nero Chenxuan He
is a Beijing-born educator, architectural designer, and multimedia artist working at the intersection of quasi-autonomous design, AI based meta-data construction, and machine perception. He studied architecture and urban design in the United States and Denmark and leads the creative practice
HeXagōn {分集研究所}, whose work spans music videos, storefront installations, robotic performances, large-scale projections, digital billboards, and exhibitions in galleries and museums across multiple countries.
He is an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University’s Huckabee College of Architecture
(TTU), where he directs the Quasi-Design Lab, a hybrid research and fabrication environment exploring co-intelligence among human, machine, and material agencies. His research and creative work have recently been showcased at the Osaka Expo, the Venice Biennale, and in permanent digital art collections on major billboards in Tokyo and Chengdu. His large-format projection works have illuminated historical landmarks, and he has collaborated with scientists on projection-based visualizations for nuclear fusion installations, extending architectural representation into scientific and planetary scales. His research also informs his ongoing book projects, including the multi-volume series Coalescence and the forthcoming Quasi-Autnomous Design: Toward an Ecology of Co-Intelligence.
He has been invited to initiate and teach a public digital art program at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA). Prior to Texas Tech, he served as a Visiting Professor at Virginia Tech School of Architecture (VT), and taught studios and seminars at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in collabration with Testa & Weiser. His professional architectural experience includes work with Zaha Hadid Architects, Information Based Architecture, and Wei Architects, among others. He also collaborated with Dream the Combine on the 2018 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program installation, Hide & Seek. Across his practice, Nero develops workflows in phygital ecologies, automated visual intelligence, and robotic/material co-authorship, producing work through a non-rectilinear, iterative process that negotiates human intuition and non-human agency. He frequently serves as a guest lecturer and critic at institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and a Master of Architecture from SCI-Arc.
