About the ScreenGardens artists

Camberley
3D artist and programmer

 

Raefer
Effects artist and developer

 

 

Camberley is a digital artist and animator who strives to bridge the gap between digital and traditional artistic styles and methods. Camberley began experimenting with digital art at the very outset of the personal computing era, using nascent paint and animation programs to create rudimentary drawings and animations. In her teens, she studied early computer graphics techniques with pioneering digital artist Jim Sachs, and created the artwork and animations for two Nintendo games. In her current work, Camberley strives to create compositions that both imitate life and augment it. Painting with both color and motion, she aims to strike a visual balance in both space and time, while still preserving the essence and behavior of her subjects. In the future, Camberley hopes to adapt diverse styles of painting and drawing to the digital medium, while also developing techniques that are unique to this emerging form. Camberley has a degree in computer science from Harvard College.

Camberley designed, painted and animated the koi fish and scenery for ScreenGardens Living Pond.


 

 

Raefer is a physicist and computer scientist whose digital creations push the boundaries of technology and artwork. His initial interest in digital artwork came in his teenage years, when he became fascinated by creating expressive works within the constraints and limitations of specific computer domains. His early works consisted of images constructed out of multicolored text characters, commonly known as "ASCII art", and demonstrations of early full-color, full-screen still images combined with sound and transitional effects. He currently works on expanding the capabilities of computers to create lifelike and surreal effects and experiments with the constantly evolving capabilities of modern 3D computer graphics hardware, borrowing technology from the world of computer games to create virtual worlds that alternately engage and surprise the viewer. Raefer holds a degree in physics from Harvard College.


Raefer designed and developed all the special effects and animation software in ScreenGardens Living Pond, including the 3D graphics engine, water simulation and fish behavior and animation system.
