From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brian Knep is a new media artist. He worked on the computer graphics effects for the film Jurassic Park, which focused on a fictional theme park in which dinosaurs had been revived. He received two technical Academy Awards, one for his work on the Direct Input Device,[1] which allowed traditional animators to work on computer models without learning computer animation software, and the other for a three-dimensional texturing tool called ViewPaint.[2][3] He left computer graphics as a profession to become an artist in xxxx. He was the first artist in residence at Harvard Medical School, holding a year-long residency in 2006/7.[4] During his time at Harvard, he created a work, "Deep Wounds" for display in Harvard's Memorial Church[5].
