The concept was preceded by a two-year research phase on the topics of human-machine interaction, AI and philosophy. Visitors had an innovative audiovisual concert experience with spatial audio by DELTA Soundworks, animations by Moritz Mayerhofer, a world premiere by Gerriet K. Sharma who experimented with AI and utilises the rare IKO's, a music-making robot by KUKA and a SPOT by Qapture programmed by the talented Amir Bastan from Creative Robotics, as well as the conducting of the marvellous Miguel Pérez Iñesta.
To complete the exploration of the theme of music and AI, the concert was preceded by an exhibition in which the renowned photo & video artist Boris Eldagsen presented his new works created especially for the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra.
