JAG Cast Jenkintown Arts Garage

We discuss various ways cutting edge dance performances are now or could be in the future using AI and AR to create unique experiences. From AI dance partners, to immersive 3D video expanding the potential audience for performances, to the use of 3D virtual structures and sets and even bringing a new level of virtual dance instruction, these technologies are poised to reshape this otherwise primarily analog art form.

We discuss the abrupt closing of Chrissie's alma mater, UArts, and whether it is indicative of a trend in higher education. Are "art" degrees (or most degrees) just useless anyway? Did Covid screw everything up for universities? Have schools invested too much in getting "fancy"? Plus, Chrissie discovers that Walmart has cheap prices, we have a few technical difficulties, and end on a hopeful note that maybe Temple will save the day in the end.

Miss Chrissie returns to the POD to react to rumors of some "AI" features expected to be announced at Apple's upcoming WWDC developer conference. Some of her reactions are truly priceless. We also explore what types of "AI" tools are actually kind of useful and which ones we find kind of creepy (*cough* Microsoft Recall *cough*).

Clyde Evans, Jr. is the Director of Education at the International Museum of Dance and a Hop Hop instructor at Drexel University. He joins us to talk about an amazing project he recently presented called the "Danceology of Hip Hop," an attempt to codify the evolution of Hip Hop dance expression. Part of this work involved creating 3D volumetric recordings of several dance moves that you can learn via AR! Open the links listed below on your phone! This was a fantastic conversation that epitomized our mission at the JAG to explore the "intersection of the arts and technology."
