ARTIST RESIDENTS 001
Live Performance:
While the majority of our animated projects are created in real-time virtual spaces, our practice is often most distilled live on stage. Through motion captured dancers, VR camerawork, and reactive scene changes, we’ve joined numerous musicians onstage as performing artists in our own right.

Team Rolfes is a realtime digital performance and image studio led by Sam Rolfes and Andy Rolfes, specializing in figurative animation, VR puppetry and mixed-reality collage.
The studio's practice expresses itself across multiple formats including livestream improvisational comedy, live motion-capture animation on large festival stages and underground rave bunkers, print design for fashion collections, album covers, and music videos for collaborators including Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Danny L Harle, Nike, Netflix, Adult Swim, and music festivals across the world.
Team Rolfes' collaborators and clients include Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Danny L Harle, Tiesto, Lunice, Josh Pan, Cashmere Cat, Matthew Dear, Denzel Curry, Amnesia Scanner, Dawn Richard, Kingdom, Danny Brown, and Caroline Polachek; fashion print and promotional design for Nicola Formichetti's Nicopanda line, fashion work for Dior, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Chopard, King Kong Magazine, KAIMIN, Novembre Magazine, and Hussein Chalayan; a music game and several animations for Adult Swim, an animated series for Super Deluxe; & live visuals for Lafawndah, Squarepusher, Rabit, House of Kenzo, Danny L Harle + PC Music, and performances at MoMA, Berlin Atonal, Day For Night Festival, Unsound Festival, and many others.
Music Videos:
Up until very recently, music videos, puppeted and performed live in VR/motion capture inside game engines, have formed the backbone of our work — a studio practice wedged inside commercial creative work, often in collaboration with those around us in the experimental music community we call home.
