In this episode Steph speaks with Sam Rolfes, a self-described digital performance artist and designer working with sound, animation and the internet. Often collaborating with his brother Andy as Team Rolfes, Sam’s worked with such big names as Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman and Rihanna, while presenting his solo real-time 3D improvisations and other collaborations with the likes of House of Kenzo, Rabit, Danny L Harle, Kai Whiston and many, many more.
Born in Dallas, educated in Chicago and now based in New York, Sam started in painting before pivoting into the smart, noisy and raucous mixed format art that’s made him a highly sought-after artist and designer across scenes, fields and industries. Sam’s work is both entertaining and alluring, while having a hard edge of humour and criticality that’s revealed through a rough-edged digital aesthetic that’s aware of its own artifice.
