[Video piece] Lost&Found

Live set (live electronic music) project Etherier’s first video piece “Lost & Found” is now released.

Story logline: How human role in the machine culture be like?

>Scientists predict 49% of human labor will be taken over by AI after 10-20 years. In that period, do humans only press the button when AI requests us to confirm the process? When AI exceed human spec in many aspects, human would respond to what machine orders. Are there any tolerance for human/humanity in that society? Two musicians try to discover the symbiosis in the coming paradigm shift we face in.

The liveness of this performance is the essential factor. Therefore, the laptop is only engaged in the visual projection, and music is presented by drum machine, euro rack (modular synthesizer), acoustic instrument with live looping. The visual projection is also generated in real-time, and no video has been used.
