Christopher Knowlton, PhD

@somethingmodern That's amazing! Congratulations!

We've been awarded £5.6 million to found a Centre for Performance, Technology, and Equity, on the principle that practice-led perspectives and promotion of social equity are critical to tech innovation both for the arts and beyond. Now the shift from pinch-me to making it happen!

A giant rainbow over the entire Chicago skyline to end Saturday. #weather #news #ilwx #chicago

@bpowtweets My friend @NY2Dance (also Chicago-based) has a lovely AR dance app called A Dance for A Time Being: ny2dance.com/projects/view/…

XR Squad: what mobile AR or Quest experiences are PUBLICLY available that feature DANCE? I know I should be THE person with this list but I’m seeing many of my go-to picks are not publicly avail.

@bpowtweets @JoannaPopper @iBrews @kathrynyu @gillesjobin1 Yes, I did an early release at the Designing Interactive Systems Conference in Pittsburgh. It's conceived around the framework of a music record and uses image tracking, so intentionally you need the physical object to experience it. Happy to DM if you want to know more!

@chriskdance @JoannaPopper @iBrews @kathrynyu @gillesjobin1 Amazing! Is Extended Play available for download?

@bpowtweets @JoannaPopper @iBrews @kathrynyu @gillesjobin1 Might I humbly share my project Extended Play? I'm an independent dancemaker, creative technologists and researcher out of Chicago: vimeo.com/784802040
