Collaboration

Kinglux X hellocatfood

Recently Tony Hill and I have collaborated on a few videos, combining glitch art aesthetics and 3D fractals.

Kinglux X Hellocatfood ‘Temptations’

The electronic landscapes provide temptation and distraction of every possible combination in ways alien and inhuman.

Kinglux X Hellocatfood ‘Escape Velocity

An exploration between the angel and technology, an interplay between humanity, space and gravity

An overall fun collaboration :-) With both of us now based in remote locations I wonder what opportunities for live collaboration there are…

Exhibition # 1 - B-VAC

So yeah, the first exhibition of B-VAC (Birmingham Visual Arts Coalition) is taking place soon. See flyer below.

I’ve set up a Twitter account for B-VAC but not quite sure where to go with it yet. Lets call it an experiment!

badcirculation

badcirculation is a collaboration between Antonio Roberts (hellocatfood) and Maria Witek (mxwx). Working primarily with the open source TidalCycles software, they create electronic dance music with the randomness of algorithmically generated beats. They each bring their diverse musical backgrounds to explore genres including Grime, Footwork, House and UK Garage.

Cyber Cafe

Cyber Cafe took inspiration from the first internet cafes that acted as a site for optimism and excitement at the early potential of the internet. These spaces offered new possibilities for connection, collaboration and creative self expression.

Site Gallery’s young people’s collective the Society of Explorers collaborated with artists Antonio Roberts and Lucy Cheesman over a series of workshops, experimenting with open-source platforms and old technologies. Together they designed an interactive exhibition reimagining the creative potential of the internet cafe of today.

Hyperobject

Hyperobject is a video collaboration between Antonio Roberts and Samiir Saunders which combines live coding and spoken word poetry. The piece takes the form of a four-part narrative epic which chronicles the grieving process of reckoning with the enormity of the climate crisis, from denial and despair into acceptance and finally a place of defiant hope.

Hyperobject was commissioned by MAIA for the We Make Tomorrow event in October 2022.
