Dumb Robot (Rob Pepler) is a psychedelic digital artist that hails from the UK and produces artwork, VJ’s and creates animations for the VJ community.
At the age of 16 Rob started playing with lighting effects at early Acid House party’s and loving the idea of creating motion with lighting effects, using an Optikinetics Solar 250 and a pair of polarizing filters and some cellophane he was creating his own psychedelic projection effects. He then moved on to produce video content and toured using a video projector and mixer for the techno outfit Eat Static which got him into to VJing for other dance music events and clubs. Rob has worked extensively with some of electronica’s best underground producers and artists and worked closely with the Glade Festival and Glastonbury Festival for a number of years. Rob produced the visuals for one of the tracks on Stuart Warren-Hill’s 3D album Holotronica. The worlds first 3d view-able album which has also toured using Stuart’s Hologauze technology. He also produce’s visual content for Motion Loops based in Austin, Texas and supply’s some of the most amazing and cutting edge content for the VJ community that is available on the web.
“My main intent when creating is to stay connected to source, through infinite vibration comes the inspiration to create solid works of art, as ideas come I manifest the visions into reality relying on the technical and creative knowledge collected through experience.
Some of the collections produced are narratives of my personal experience and observations and are heavily influenced by psychedelic culture, philosophy and spirituality and other collections. My intention is to highlight events that are taking place in front of our very eyes but we are often too blinkered to see.”
Rob uses an arsenal of amazing software to achieve his visions and is always open to new tools but he heavily relies on Zbrush, 3ds Max, Photoshop and After Effects as his main tool set, He also uses a Wacom Cintiq 24 graphics tablet.
