Collectible Description

Animals feature prominently in fairy tales, often as sidekicks to central characters in the story, but also as the main stars. In Wonderland, Antonio presents their real-world counterparts in a strange fantasy environment developed from 3D scans of taxidermied animals held within the Herbert’s Natural Sciences collection. The scans were made through a process called ‘photogrammetry’. This involves taking many photos of an object, which specialized computer software analyses and stitches together to create a fully manipulatable 3D object. Characters morph and warp to represent the sinister world in which they live, inspired by scenes depicted in Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). To complement this dark image, the ‘skin’ of the 3D models is presented as though it were a real skinned animal. Antonio takes a critical look at imagery and stories promoted to us as young children in fairy tales and cartoons. At a very young age, we (and our parents) are bombarded with images of cute and adorable cartoon characters, each story aiming to fill our young minds with wonder, promote healthy friendships and encourage creativity. These stories transported us into fantasy worlds, where anything was possible and nothing was what it seemed. ‘Who controls how these stories are told and by whom? As I grew older, I began to learn that behind these images were large corporations who have financial gain at heart. The ideals they promote, come at a (financial) cost. Also, actively stopping anyone taking inspiration from their images and thus developing our creativity.’ - Antonio RobertsSide 1

Artist Biography

Antonio Roberts: Glitch Art Pioneer Shaping Digital Landscapes

Antonio Roberts, known professionally as hellocatfood, is a Birmingham-based new media artist and curator whose groundbreaking approach to visual art has cemented his place as a significant figure in the burgeoning field of glitch art and digital installation. Born in Birmingham, United Kingdom, Roberts’ artistic journey began with an early fascination for experimental music and coding, influences that would profoundly shape his distinctive style – characterized by deliberate disruptions of image processing techniques and explorations into themes surrounding open source culture and copyright. Roberts' work transcends traditional boundaries, seamlessly blending visual art forms with live coding performances at algoraves. This immersive experience allows him to translate complex computational processes directly into captivating audiovisual presentations, mirroring the ethos of his artistic philosophy: embracing imperfection as a catalyst for innovation. His explorations delve into how digital tools can be utilized not merely for replication but for reimagining established narratives and challenging conventional aesthetic standards. A notable accomplishment was awarded with a BOM Fellowship in 2016 followed by Near Now Fellowship in 2017, demonstrating his commitment to artistic excellence and furthering his exploration of contemporary art practices. Furthermore, Roberts’ involvement as one of fifteen artists appointed to the Artists Council at algorave – a genre combining rave music and visual art – underscores his dedication to fostering dialogue within the creative community and championing artistic freedom. Roberts' artistic vision finds resonance in collaborations with fellow artists like Robert Julian Onderdonk, whose Impressionist landscapes—particularly “Old Live Oak Tree and Bluebonnets on the West Texas Military Grounds”—offer a poignant contrast to Roberts’ digital explorations. These works highlight Onderdonk’s masterful depiction of natural beauty alongside Roberts’ interrogation of technological impact on artistic expression. His contributions extend beyond individual projects; Roberts actively promotes accessibility within the art world through initiatives like The Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Canada, showcasing over 4,500 artworks and fostering engagement with Canadian art history. Similarly, Museo Robert Brady in Cuernavaca, Mexico, presents a curated collection of international art alongside Mexican masters—a testament to Roberts’ belief in broadening artistic horizons and celebrating diverse cultural perspectives. Ultimately, Antonio Roberts' work stands as an emblem of the evolving landscape of contemporary art – prioritizing experimentation, questioning established conventions, and harnessing the transformative potential of digital media to reimagine visual storytelling.
