Peter I. Chang was born in 1973 in Taipei, Taiwan, to a Chinese father and a Japanese mother. At the age of twelve he moved to Los Angeles with his family.

After receiving his degree from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona he has since participated in numerous exhibitions such as the NEA sponsored annual art event, Artoconecto 2001: Lust and Revenge in the Year of the Snake, (Josephine Butler Center, Washington D.C.) and Santa Fe Film Festival 2001's benefit exhibition, Reflex: Artists' Reflections on Cinema (Chiaroscuro Gallery, Santa Fe, NM). Most recently his works were included in the Rocky Mountain Biennial 2002 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Fort Collins, Colorado, and his photo essay was featured in the January 2002 issue of New Mexico Magazine's "Impermanence in the Land of Enchantment: Tibetan Perspectives from Northern New Mexico."

Since 1999, he has collaborated on several projects with Mitch Cullin, including The House of Special Purpose, the novel UnderSurface, and the still-evolving The Twenty-Five Cent Mechanical Horse. Putting his brushes and paints on the backburner for a while, he is currently directing a documentary about the L.A. street musician Hisao Shinagawa.
