Selected following an open-call for projects at the intersection of artificial intelligence and musical performance, Hongshuo Fan’s Metamorphosis is a real-time interactive audio-visual composition for one human performer and two artificial intellectual performers, based around human and machine improvisations on the ancient chinese percussion instrument Bianqing (磬). During the course of the performance, the instrument’s sound, and shape, will constantly evolve, based on the interaction and interpretation of the human and machine players. From ancient to modern, concrete to abstract, the fusion of sound, image and live performance create an immersive experience exploring the dramatic shift and co-evolution between humans and AI.
