Zhixing Chen. Artist, designer, engineer, musician.

I am an artist, designer, engineer, and musician, working across live performance, human-computer interaction, AI, dance, and production workflows. My MIT thesis explored how generative AI can support new forms of social interaction through music and dance. Now I'm building Stage Intelligence, AI for live event planning and operations.
