Sims
[USA] computer scientist, media artists Karl Sims studied computer graphics at the MIT Media Lab, and Life Sciences as an undergraduate at MIT. He currently leads GenArts, Inc. in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he creates special effects software for the motion picture industry. His work and research include several computer graphics animations and interactive media installations as well as technical papers on his work about virtual creatures and interactive evolution. He has exhibited in several venues such as ICC Tokyo, Centre Georges Pomipou, Paris, and Ars Electronica, Linz. He has received a MacArthur Fellowship and numerous other awards for his work.
