Skate Cabal ™

What happens when roller skaters enter a motion capture studio? 🛼✨

Roller skating found a home at @queenelizabetholympicpark. Through Roll Deep, we’re bringing together community and world-class technology to explore what happens when skate culture moves beyond public spaces and into digital spaces.📡

Over the past few months, skaters stepped into a motion capture studio, wore suits that tracked their movement, and began experimenting with what it means to take skating to new levels.

From concept to culture. ✨
From skate moves to digital movement. 📀
From community to creativity. 🎨

What if your favourite skate style could be digitised, preserved and reimagined?

This is Roll Deep.

A pilot developed through the Creative Experience Futures Lab programme, supported by @ucl and LLDC.
