Education

Richter received a Master's degree from Technikon Natal in Durban, South Africa in 2001, and a PhD from the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague in 2010.

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.. 1998 - M-System - Web project.jpg

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]
