321Rule is a culmination of years of pioneering live 3D performance alongside the likes of Danny L Harle, Rabit, House of Kenzo, Lady Gaga, Arca, and Marshstepper — written by spam poet Jacob Bakkila (horse_ebooks, Bear Stearns Bravo), and starring a rotating cast of musicians as Eris Wonderful, a memory hunter gig worker in a hellish near-future metaverse.
321Rule's live stage adaptation is a manic AV mashup of real-time 3D avatar theatre, metaverse-parody games, and high bpm blasts of each collaborating stars' iconic songs spliced into an original score by Galen Tipton & Count Baldor -- half-sardonic digital slapstick, half-hyperp*p scream ballad.
Team Rolfes:
Team Rolfes is an NYC-based virtual performance and image studio founded by directors Sam Rolfes and Andy Rolfes, with teammates including slay-machine innovator Array Bercov and 502 Studio head Alex Baumann, developed to pioneer real-time narrative animation with VR puppets, motion-captured abstract avatars, and viscerally intense imagery derived directly from the nuances of human motion.
Honed through years in the NYC avant garde club and theatre worlds, Team Rolfes' practice has expressed itself across a spectrum of formats, from livestream improvisational comedy, to live animation on stage, print design for fashion collections, album covers, and music videos for collaborators including Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Holly Herndon, Danny L Harle, Metallica, Amnesia Scanner, Lunice, Dezel Curry, Arca, Nike, Adult Swim, and music festivals across the world.
