Alex Lee

Alex M. Lee is a hybrid artist and researcher working across animation, game engines, extended reality, and machine learning to explore how data, simulation, and perception intertwine. His work engages autonomous agents as metaphysical performers — entities that animate the artificial, blur the boundaries of thought and image, and inhabit the threshold between fiction and system. Informed by science, science fiction, and philosophy, he constructs speculative worlds where reality is rendered, refracted, and perpetually remade. Lee has exhibited internationally in North America, Europe and Asia. Selected exhibitions include: Gallery Hakusen, Tokyo, Japan; Mio Photo, Osaka, Japan; Gallery DOS, Seoul, Korea; Daegu Art Factory, Daegu, Korea; Eyebeam: Center for Art & Technology, New York, NY; LEV Festival, Madrid, Spain; Paris/Berlin Rencontres Internationales; Elektra International Digital Art Festival, Montreal, Canada; New Images XR Art Fair, Paris, France, Goethe-Institut, Toronto, Canada. His work has been published in articles covering art, science, and culture including: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), Metaverse Creativity, Canadian Art, and Routledge Press. Lee has received generous support for his research projects from sources including Unity Meta XR, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Trinity Square Video, the Institute for Electronic Arts, and Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center.
