His wide-ranging practice includes motion-capture performances, fashion and print design, and music visuals for collaborators such as Lady Gaga, Arca, Metallica, Netflix, and Nike. ➡️ Love art x technology? Learn more about how Lincoln Center’s Collider Fellowship explores that relationship, with Collider collaborator @onassis.onx , at the #linkinbio.

Two sculpts and animations, in the style of Giorgio de Chirico and Alberto Savinio, respectively, for @museitaliani We contributed only a small part to “Felicità”, but grateful to @lucafinotti for the opportunity to both play around and deeply explore the rich history of Italian culture. Thank you as well to @federica.intelisano , the wonderful Studio Finotti team, and our fellow artists 💖

Fav stills from our @arca1000000 Tour Video 1: Mequetrefe by @team.rolfes (and a couple from another piece we’ll share soon) Originally debuted at Coachella 2025 and featured in tour performances afterward, this video (cropped and clipped in this post) was performed by us remixing Arca’s motion-captured movements into a fragmented hybrid choreography. It captures multiple manifestations of a character sculpted for Arca’s series of Mutant;Destrudo performances at the Park Avenue Armory NYC in 2023. Video Credits: @sam.rolfes : Director, Lead Animation, Virtual Camera, Character Design @andy.rolfes Lead Production, FX Design, Technical Director, Technical Animator @s_a_mayer : Character Design, Environmental Design @array_1337 : Virtual Hair, Avatar System @kevinpeterhe : Lighting Design Arca Credits: Creative Director: Arca Co Creative Lead & Video Design Director: @henriqueghersi More documentation of this series of work coming soon <3

Honored and excited to be selected as a @lincolncenter ‘25-’26 Collider Fellow alongside 5 other brilliant artists: @kevinpeterhe @rashaadnewsome @cinthjiac @jamesallistersprang and @stephanie.dinkins Virtual performance (or however you’d like to contextualize it; club-theatre, real-time narrative, or otherwise) is at an inflection point, as artists and audiences around the world reach similar conclusions about the exhilarating potential for the medium. I’ll rant more about this later… My time during the Lincoln Center Collider Fellowship will be spent both working to develop a more robust infrastructure for this burgeoning medium and community, and in developing our upcoming new stories, shows, and showcases we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of. Worth mentioning is while I’ve personally been selected as a Collider Fellow, the work that @team.rolfes does is the result of the collective vision of @andy.rolfes , @bausaus , @array_1337 and our other friends and collaborators; themselves pioneering artists in their own right. 💖🥂💖🥂 📸@layer_nyc
