Chongha Peter Lee is currently based out of New York and Washington, D.C and Amsterdam.  He is a polymath transmedia artist who’s work deals with quantum data science, ethical AI multi-modal-models and ethical hacking pranks. His work centers around the concept of the "hyperobject sculpture", a term which crosses the arts, sciences, anthropology and pop culture. To communicate across disciplines, cultures and literacies, he constructs playful “model fictions” which prototype sustainable, inclusive and scalable impact-based systems and poetics.​

​

He is currently a Research Fellow for Provisions Library for Arts and Social Change, based out of George Mason University. He has used transmedia to produce new intellectual syntheses, constructed transorganizational interfaces, and directed transregional projects. His current work focuses on collaboratively coordinating a large-scale exhibition in Izmir, Turkey calling for transnational solidarity in response to both Turkey and other countries’ various eco-social crises. Part of this work is superluminal film titled "Birth of an Invagination".

​

Recently, he advised on AI ethics for one of the first carbon credit and biodiversity markets in the U.S.; collaborated on a novel use and valuation system of NFT's at the New Media Art Museum in Istanbul, Turkey; and collaborated on transmedia works mediating the politics of oppressed populations for Documenta Fifteen and Manifesta. His person

​

In 2016, he received his MFA in Transmedia at Syracuse University, creating an art automation software that took part in the world's first automated VR biennale. He co-founded the “Antifragile Agency”, an art and research assemblage which participated in The Wrong Biennale, and “Superpositional Reality” – a VR work that was shown in Video Vortex as part of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. He co-produced the “The Impossible Dialogues Interface” for the Chile Architectural Biennale XX in 2017 and has been working in socially-engaged art projects showing in multiple Biennales and conferences in both the North and South America's since 2010.
