Greetings! I’m Kaamil (Kah-mill) born just forty minutes out of Worcester, but with long visits\/trips to both India and Pakistan. I think I’ve always wanted to be an artist, even as a kid, but it took me some time to loop back around and realize it. I’m no stranger to programming or math, and have coded for games and websites in a few different languages. I love capturing stories and emotions and infusing a medium with intent. I always like to say art is a conversation between the creator(s) and the medium. Sometimes letting the medium speak can create some amazing art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think interactive media is the perfect place to be to take technical skills and create art from it. I also dabble in classical guitar (I haven’t picked it up in a bit), write poetry with friends and make art of physical mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m continually inspired by culture and human convergence on similar ideas all around the world. I’m a big fan of indie games that capture abstract and emotional concepts. On the other hand, there’s nothing like a local multiplayer game with friends. And chess – I’ve been playing that recently as well. Conversations around chess has led me to believe that games, even in the classic sense, are a form of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took a bit of a digital art detox this summer and went into a more physical art phase. So I’ve collected a bunch of old clothes and cut them up to create art pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
