    "Lesson" 13: Team Rolfes (Sam Rolfes & Andy Rolfes)

    Yup, we interview Team Rolfes, a digital performance and image studio led by Sam and Andy Rolfes. I reached out to them with a manic email about my post-graduation crisis, and they were kind enough to hop on to help out. Why is the art world so yuck? How does a terminally online artist find community IRL? What the heck does Sam mean when he talks about "strategies for experimentalists"? How shredded IS Danny Elfman? In Season 2 of FASU we tackle these important questions while continuing to play around with live-streaming. They have collaborated with Lady Gaga, Danny Elfman, Danny L Harle, Nike, Netflix, Adult Swim and performed at music festivals across the world. The studio specializes in figurative animation, VR puppetry, and mixed reality collage. They create works across multiple formats, including livestream improvisational comedy, live motion capture animation on large festival stages and in underground rave bunkers, print design for fashion collections, album covers and music videos.

    For this lesson GABRIEL digs up an old recording of Alan Licht, a sound artist, guitarist, composer and critic. Since Alex got his hand stuck in a pringles can, Gabriel interviews Alan and gets to the bottom of “what the heck is sound art”? and his book Sound Art: Revisited. How does one talk about it? How do you display it in a gallery or public space? What is the art historical backing to this relatively new auditory medium? Is Lady Gaga sound art???
