HC Gilje (b. 1969, Kongsberg) is a Norwegian artist working across realtime video, sound, installation, and set design. A graduate of the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, he moved to Berlin in 1999 for the studio programme at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, becoming a key figure in the live cinema scene through the video-improvisation trio 242.pilots and as visual motor for dance company Kreutzerkompani.

He also develops VPT, a widely used free video-projection-mapping tool.
