Open Call for “Future Frames,” a juried exhibition of AI-generated posters and short films that I’m co-curating. Deadline for submissions is August 31st. artu.us/ #AI #graphicdesign #film #aifilm #exhibition
For #Niantic’s #Lightship #RealWorldARChallenge, I led a team to build an MVP of “Low Carbon Labs,” an #AR ed game. Players must build carbon capture systems to lower the CO2 level in their environment. With #ChristopherMaxey, #XioahanWu, #MollyCarroll.

Delighted to be interviewed for #BoldJourney this past month. We dive into the qualities that have kept me going as a creative, my work across the performing arts, #XR, and higher ed, and how a teacher taught me to see the world in profound ways. boldjourney.com/news/meet-jo…
If you’re lucky, your students will tell you how much they learned in your class. If you’re really lucky they’ll tell the press about it. arhu.umd.edu/news/david-obaj… @umd_imd #DavidObajemu #XR #AR #highered
Back in the virtual theater with #GumballDreams @XRDreamland_KFF. A delight to perform across time and space from my studio in LA for an audience both virtually and physically a world away. Thx @Ferryman_VR, @DeirdreVLyons , and @screamingcolor for creating such a beautiful show
If you’re in the #DC area, come check out DANCE x DANCE, an interactive dance and robotics project I’m directing at #UniversityofMaryland. 9/12 at 7pm, Art & Sociology Building. theclarice.umd.edu/events/20…
Honored to be featured on the latest episode of the @InternetSenses podcast, hosted by @JoelLGarrison. We talk spatial storytelling, teaching AR design, puppetry and VR, and a whole lot more. youtube.com/watch?v=fIfCdMJY… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… . .
Just published this Medium article about my experience teaching augmented reality design over the past few years. Hope it will be a conversation starter for anyone creating experiential works of AR or interested in training new talent for the medium. medium.com/@jondavidmartin/t…
Back in the “lab” with #DanceXDance @umd_imd . Prototyping new ways to run the robot and track on sculptural elements-as well as the dancer. Added a motion sensor to translate the dancer digitally. Choreo #AdrianeFang Music #SamCrawford Robots @huaishup
That’s a wrap on @umd_imd's New Works Incubator program! Our 3rd summer generated a dozen new #immersivemedia projects by students from across #UniversityofMaryland's campus.
A shoutout to #MarylandToday's #KarenShih for the article about @umd_imd's New Works Incubator. This year’s cohort of student creators is working with interactive projection projects, #VR, #AR, and sensor-based projects just to name a few! today.umd.edu/summ-ar-immers…
My students @umd_imd are using Snapchat's Lens Studio to build AR experiences this summer. So I thought I would check it out and build a special lens for fans of the Broadway production of LIFE OF PI (I'm a puppeteer in the production).

Check out this excellent segment on #lifeofpibway. Being inside of the show, I forget how unique it is as a piece of theater and kinetic storytelling. A huge thank you to @Mistahwax and the whole @cbssaturday team for highlighting the magic and hardwork behind the puppetry.
"Life of Pi" - first a hit novel, and then an Oscar-winning movie - is a story unlike any other. Now, with state-of-the-art puppetry and stagecraft, that story is on Broadway. @Mistahwax goes behind the scenes.
Some really awesome footage from our press day at #LifeofPiBway. We demoed how we created the choreography for this sequence by layering on elements one at a time. With #HiranAbeysekera as Pi #BetsyRosen and #NikkiCalonge with me as the tiger.
In honor of π Day, here’s a sneak preview behind the creative process of @LifeofPiBway! 🎥 by Ethan Treiman
Episode 8 of @tangiblehopeproject my #documentary #webseries is out and we’re going to #Denver! Give it a watch. By the end of it, you just may be contemplating making a move to the Mile High City yourself. youtu.be/o2AFAlx_KoU
A lovely shoutout to “Life of Pi” and the power of puppetry and collective creation in Boston Herald’s year end theater review. Boston's theater season sizzled in 2022 - here are 5 standouts bostonherald.com/2022/12/25/… #LifeofPiART
A little peek inside the rehearsal studio for Life of Pi featuring interviews with the puppet design team. Some great clips showing us stitching together some of the physical sequences in the show. #lifeofPiART youtube.com/watch?v=nOX4hGRj…
Lovely interview from @jedgottlieb @bostonherald with our "Life of Pi" Associate Puppetry and Movement Director, #ScarletWilderink on the demands (and joys) of the show on the puppeteers. #LifeofPiART bostonherald.com/2022/11/27/…
