Bywgraffiad 

Mae Robert Pepperell PhD yn Athro yn Ysgol Gelf Caerdydd ac yn arweinydd y Fovolab amlddisgyblaethol ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd. Mae'n ymchwilio i natur y meddwl ymwybodol a'r canfyddiad gweledol trwy baentio a darlunio, arbrofi gwyddonol, ac ymholi athronyddol.

 Mae grŵp ymchwil Fovolab yn ceisio mesur a dal y profiad o edrych ar wrthrychau yn y byd gan ddefnyddio ffurf newydd o 'bersbectif naturiol' yn seiliedig ar strwythur gweledigaeth ddynol. Nid cofnodi'r hyn sydd yn y byd yw'r nod, ond y profiad o weld y byd o safbwynt corfforedig. Mae'r gwaith hwn wedi arwain at ddatblygu ffurf newydd o geometreg 3D ar gyfer graffeg gyfrifiadurol sy'n gwella darlunio gofod gweledol (www.fovotec.com).

 Fel arlunydd mae wedi arddangos yn Ars Electronica, Oriel Barbican, Oriel Celf Fodern Glasgow, yr ICA, a Chromen y Mileniwm. Fel academydd mae wedi cyhoeddi sawl llyfr, gan gynnwys The Posthuman Condition (1995 a 2003) a The Postdigital Membrane (gyda Michael Punt, 2000), yn ogystal ag erthyglau, adolygiadau, a phapurau ym meysydd hanes celf, athroniaeth meddwl, deallusrwydd artiffisial, niwrowyddoniaeth, a seicoleg ganfyddiadol.

Ymchwil gyfredol 

Mae fy ymchwil gyfredol yn cyfuno dulliau o gelf a gwyddoniaeth i ymchwilio i natur profiad gweledol a sut y gellir ei gynrychioli. Rwy'n gweithio gyda thîm o gyd-ymchwilwyr, gan gynnwys Alistair Burleigh a Nicole Ruta, i ddatblygu ffurf newydd o bersbectif darluniadol yn seiliedig ar ffenomenoleg canfyddiad gweledol. Am gannoedd o flynyddoedd mae ein diwylliant wedi dibynnu ar egwyddorion persbectif llinol i gynrychioli'r byd gweledol, ac mae hyn wedi bod yn sail i'n dull cyffredinol o wneud delweddau a thechnoleg delwedd. Fodd bynnag, fel yr ydym wedi dangos trwy ein hymchwil, mae persbectif llinol yn methu â chipio agweddau allweddol ar brofiad gweledol. Mae dulliau amgen o ddarlunio gofod gweledol, ac mae llawer ohonynt wedi'u datblygu gan artistiaid, yn fwy cywir. Nod ein hymchwil yw cyfoethogi ein dealltwriaeth o sut rydym yn dirnad y byd trwy gyfuno gwybodaeth o wyddoniaeth a'r celfyddydau. Rydym yn datblygu gwahanol fathau o gyfryngau newydd sy'n manteisio ar y wybodaeth hon, gan weithio i greu math o 'weledigaeth synthetig' gyda chymwysiadau ym maes hysbysebu, hapchwarae, cyfathrebu, sinematograffi a meddygaeth.
