Team Rolfes is a realtime performance and image house based in NYC, led by Sam Rolfes and Andy Rolfes, that specializes in figurative animation, VR puppetry and mixed-reality collage. The studio's practice expresses itself across multiple formats and platforms such as livestream improvisational comedy, live motion-capture animation both on large festival stages and in underground rave bunkers. They have also created print design for fashion collections, album covers, and music videos. Notable collaborations include projects for artists like Lady Gaga, Arca, Metallica, and Amnesia Scanner. This presentation will go over their approach to virtual performance using digital puppetry and game engines, as seen in projects such as 3-2-1 Rule and the VR club theatre Diskokina.

This talk is supported by the Visiting Artist Stage and Screen Fund
