Education

Career

Richter combines "mediatised reality" with oil painting techniques, which she layers in week-long work stages to create her "mediatised streetscapes, materializing the tension of contemporary visual culture."[1] She has created visualizations at stock exchanges in New York ("Emporium Spirit", 2005)[2] and Prague ("Black Vortex", 2006).[3]

Some of Richter's initial work was for the early web, including a participatory web game ("M-System", 1998) and a project reflecting the medium of the web itself ("0-System", 1997).[4]

Kamila B. Richter - M-System. The participatory web project M-system offers a simple abstract reality of the Prague subway transportation system wherein an individual trace of participation can be entered to change the otherwise strict map of the subway net collectively..

Since 2005 – in cooperation with Michael Bielický – Richter has developed web-based, often interactive projects controlled by real-time data fed from the Internet. Examples of their collaboration include 2015's "Lost Objects" at the National Theatre, Prague,[5] and a 2017 solo exhibition at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam in Havana.[6]

Richter's further international exhibitions, festivals, and projects include shows in Vienna,[7] Seoul,[8] and Karlsruhe.[9]
