AI DJ – A dialogue between AI and a human

Media performance

TOKUI Nao / DOZONO Shoya [Japan]

Outline

Arti cial intelligence (AI), which has learned the characteristics of musical composition, and a human DJ take each other’s musical selec- tions. AI analyze the DJ’s music and chooses the next song, uses the turntable to make mixes, and sometimes surprises us with musi- cal selections that go beyond our imagination. People explore the possibilities of dialogue and co-creation through this discussion between two DJs.
