Dance and movement artist Christopher Knowlton will present his augmented reality dance performance, Extended Play, this Sunday night in Amarillo at Old Tascosa Brewing Company (3100 SW 6th Ave.). It's a donation show that kicks off at 7:30p CT.
The show 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.
