About Haozheng
Profile:
Pei Haozheng (Chinese: 裴浩正; Pinyin: Péi Hào Zhèng; born Nanjing, Jiangsu in 1996), also known as Hotz Pei, is a Chinese contemporary artist, designer, and researcher, exploring origami for about 20 years. As an artist, he has created numerous meaningful works with sophisticated techniques and humanitarian ideals. His works, for instance, were certified by the Guinness World Records twice and sold at several charity auctions to raise money for disadvantaged children and exhibited at various museums, outreach events, and symposiums. As a designer, he has applied folding elements to design. For example, he designed a foldable mascot and won the Best Mascot Award from China National Stadium; he has also designed several origami-themed TV projects, promoting the art form to hundreds of millions of viewers. As a researcher, he sees origami as a medium that intersects both art and science and actively involves in lectures at and collaborations with universities nationwide. He received his master's degree from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore in 2021. Now, he is co-developing an origami-inspired robot with Peking University and curating a science-art exhibition.
