Steve Teeple contributes three-dimensional art to many audio/visual communities around the world. His ideas about changing the way we perceive animation and sound were first expressed in music videos for various record labels. Working with labels that shared his aesthetic led Steve to commit to producing a new piece of 3D artwork every day for a year. These daily renders often became elements in the artwork, videos, and promotional material that occupied Steve’s professional life.

Twenty-twelve brought recognition and praise from IDN magazine, naming Garbure their video of the year, and a subsequent screening at the Volt festival in Stockholm. The reception for Steve’s work led his path to cross with David Wexler, better known as Strangeloop of Flying Lotus’s Brainfeeder label, founder of the Teaching Machine collective. As the newest member of Teaching Machine, Steve sculpted 3D models for the avant-garde, sci-fi animated film, Anamnesia, and created videos for RYAT, Ruff Draft/Mr Carmack, Earnest Blount, and more.

Steve’s latest work includes building 3D content for Wolfgang Gartner’s Hounds of Hell Tour, alongside Strangeloop and Scott Pagano, and producing animations for a new bi-monthly Teaching Machine A/V mixtape series. When Steve takes a break from designing animations, he often performs live visuals for the best and brightest music in the Bay including the likes of Teebs, Prefuse 73, Evian Christ, Devonwho, Starkey, Teeko, Insightful, Team Supreme, Mophono, and Vessel. Steve also contributes as a monthly visual resident at popular San Francisco beat night, Resonate.

By day, Steve produces web content for popular e-commerce company Betabrand, where he helps craft new, exciting apparel every week. Betabrand’s exploits are regularly covered by serious publications such as the New York Times, CNN, Wired, Gizmodo, and Boing Boing. Betabrand focuses on developing new models of social interaction and community development in e-commerce. Steve graduated with honors from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Arts & Technology.
