Presented with ACMI and Soft Centre

Art in the Age of Hybrid Media

Team Rolfes

Wed 27 August

New York’s Team Rolfes experiments with VR and mixed reality to build surreal, immersive spaces collaborating with artists including Lady Gaga, Arca and Metallica.

Together, they investigate how emerging tools – from AI and neural interfaces to quantum aesthetics – are transforming screen-based expression, while inviting speculation on how these technologies might rewire creativity, destabilise authorship and reshape collective imagination.

Hosted by ACMI’s Director of Programming, Emily Sexton.

Hamill Industries are unable to join this conversation, however their groundbreaking work can still be experienced at DELIRI and CORTEX on Sat 30 and Sun 31 August. Catch Team Rolfes at PARA.CINE.
