One of the three specially created co-creations at the Festival, AWWZ b2b AI Dj is a unique collaboration between dj and producer Awwz, and a team of researchers from the UPC: Mireia de Gracia, Casimiro Pio and Marta Ruíz Costa-Jussà. 

Taking place at the intersection of AI genre classification, performance and audience participation, a specially trained AI will translate youtube comments into song suggestions. The resulting track selections will then be chosen by the DJ in a collaborative process, inviting reflection on questions of musical taste and the ability of a dj to ‘read’ an audience, as well as pointing the way forward to the future of djing.
