TEAM ROLFES w/ LIL MARIKO 321 Rule

For the first time at L.E.V Matadero, 321 Rule by the New York studio Team Rolfes will be presented. A project characterized by a unique visual and performative language that has revolutionized the use of motion capture and real-time animation to create immersive experiences that merge the virtual realm with the physical world. Their work investigates the body, image, and sound in the digital age.

Founded by directors Sam Rolfes and Andy Rolfes, the studio pioneered the use of VR puppetry, abstract avatars captured in real time, and mixed-media collages that translate the nuances of human movement into visceral and energetic images. Their practice spans a surprising diversity of formats, ranging from live sessions that combine animation with improvisational comedy, to visuals for international stages and underground events, to album covers, music videos, fashion collection design, and immersive experiences for global clients.

Throughout their career, Team Rolfes has collaborated with figures such as Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Holly Herndon, Denzel Curry, Amnesia Scanner, Lunice, Arca, and Caroline Polachek, as well as with festivals and events such as MoMA, Berlin Atonal, CTM Festival, and Unsound Festival, among many others. They have also worked on projects for prominent brands and studios, including Nike, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Chopard, and have created content for media outlets such as Adult Swim and Super Deluxe.
