The new wave artists with no human touch
At the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, performances by a robot pianist, a virtual singer, an AI painter and machine poet provided some interesting diversion from abstract technology concepts and algorithm lingo that ordinary humans find difficult to grasp.
There was a one-hour AI concert and various AI artists in exhibitions, showing the initial stages of a future driven by machine learning.
One of the highlights of the show was Teo, a humanoid robot from Italy, who played “Perfect” and “Ode to the Motherland” on the piano, sang a solo and accompanied human singers.
The performance also included a performance of the Chinese classic folk song “Jasmine” by Luo Tianyi, a virtual singer with 3D imaging, who also co-hosted the show.
Luo, developed by Shanghai-based Bilibili, is one of the most famous virtual singers in China, drawing more than 500 million online clicks and more than 10 million fans.
A dance performance, with motion capture from a high-speed camera and multimedia lights, created virtual effects expressing the passing of time.
