Lives and works in Switzerland
Pe Lang is known for creating minimal kinetic artworks and installations throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
In a constant process of gaining and losing control, Lang‘s kinetic installation engages a refined and focused exploration of interaction between the kinetic, the visual and the sonic.
In 2007, Lang received a one year research residency fellowship at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology CSEM. Lang was twice honored with the prestigious swiss art award (2009 and 2010). Among other awards, Lang received the mediaprojects award in 2005, 2008 and 2011 from the Swiss Federal Department of Culture.
Lang has received commissions by Swiss Science Center Technorama, the Villa Empain - Boghossian Foundation in Brussels and the Exploratorium in San Francisco as well as his works can be found in private, museum and foundation collections such as the EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art, the Borusan Contemporary in Istanbul, the Museum of Science, Art and Human Perception in San Francisco, the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation for Art in Mischigan, Futurium, Berlin and the Artphilein Foundation in Liechtenstein.
