Extended Play: An augmented reality dance performance and demonstration by Christopher Knowlton
Dance and movement artist Christopher Knowlton will present his "Extended Play" augmented reality dance performance. Extended Play combines emerging technologies like motion capture and augmented reality with retro-analog technologies like music boxes and phonographs to explore memory, isolation, nostalgia and queer futurism, all while experimenting with what a record of dance is and can be.
Extended Play has taken many forms, including a live virtual performance streamed from a motion capture lab, live stage performances, an augmented reality app for smartphones, an interactive exhibit, an academic publication and soon — a vinyl record compilation album.
The presentation will include a performance by local sound artist Ryan Ingebritsen and an opportunity to meet with the artists.
