BEYOND THE BEAT: CRAFT YOUR VIRTUAL DJ BY THUNDERBOOM
The virtual and physical world collide more and more within the music industry. Artists such as The Gorillaz and Lil Miquela perform as virtual characters or holograms, and artists such as Marshmello and Travis Scott earn millions by performing in games such as Fortnite.
During this workshop, together we will create our own virtual DJ, using state of the art AI, AR and avatar technologies. Also, we will do an interactive quizz to learn more about the risks and biases that come along with these new technologies. Join us to experience that the future is already here!

Co-Founders
Thunderboom Records is an independent innovation lab at the cutting edge of music and new technology such as AI and mixed reality. Our goal is to ensure that new technology is always enriching our human creative expression, rather than harming it. To reach our goal, we initiate and produce technology-driven music projects together with a great diversity of artists, audiences, designers, programmers and music industry professionals. Our projects take many forms: from open-source AI tools to keynote series and from virtual artists to accessible hardware.
