figure this will happen on at least some scale, but that no one will really care. maybe holo-beatles could be a thing? figure the big money is in simulcasting "event" concerts featuring tween stars like beiber and the jonas brothers, or whatever the equivalent is these days.

i saw this and it was amazing, but hard to get a feel for how it was in person, given that i was watching it in 2-D. i guess i sort of just doubt this is an actual hologram? don't you need to use some crazy 3-D capture camera technology to make a hologram? you can't just extrapolate a hologram from video footage
(i realize there is probably a listicle that explains all this)
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 16 April 2012 15:41 (eleven years ago) link
if it were a hologram you'd be able to move from side to side and see a different angle of tupac, but no such luck
― mh, Monday, 16 April 2012 15:42 (eleven years ago) link
they can make 3d movies from 2d movies, like u dont see pac from all angles, just front on but he looks a lil popping out
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 April 2012 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
you can't just extrapolate a hologram from video footage
This pretty much looks like a 3d computer model of Tupac which could be kind of like a hologram, but you'd have to be able to actually pan around. Everyone there saw the same angle, no matter which side of the stage they were on. He just probably looked kind of distorted.
For a really-real hologram, they'd have had to capture him using a camera that picked up all available light etc etc and it'd have to be video of him from life

i think they are basically video players and take the usual formats AVI, MP4, etc. they are around 40cm in diameter, about the size of a shield. imagine setting up several of these in a room - you could do some amazing stuff!

no holograms involved, but this is an interesting interview with holly herndon on the recent song by Travisbott, which is an AI trained on Travis Scott (without his permission).
herndon touches on the possibility (the inevitability, according to herndon) of labels using AI to create new songs which mimic the voices of older singers. Just train an AI on a bunch of tracks of an elvis voice, then have elvis guest on a new song. "My music may suck but I'm on a major label (ft. Elvis)". interesting to think about, and given the strange popularity of shitty remixes of older songs, it does seem inevitable.
...Spawn, Herndon's "collaborator," was trained on different, consenting human voices ranging from Herndon’s own to that of a 14-piece choir; she denies that Travisbott is an extension of her work even outside of ethical considerations. “We used audio material [instead of MIDI], which is actually much harder.” When she spoke with The FADER in 2019 about Proto, Herndon said she saw something like Travisbott coming: “I think we're going to see a flood of automated compositions, people using neural nets to extract the logic from other people's work, and a lot of appropriation. We're going to see big issues around attribution.” Now that this future has arrived, what’s next? Speaking over Skype, Herndon succinctly broke down her concerns while rejecting the “evil robot” vision of the future....Q: Do you think that one day voice modeling is something that could buttress this tendency to keep revisiting the same pop archetypes?A: Oh, 100%. Are you kidding me? There's so many labels with gold mines worth of master tapes that they're just dying to reanimate. That's definitely going to happen.We'll see what the public decides that they want, or what they don't want. We also decided as a society that it's okay to not pay for music. So I don't know, maybe we're going to also decide that entertainment trumps everything else. We're going to see a lot of retro fetishism artistic necrophilia. And maybe some of it's even going to be interesting. But we have to figure out the ethics around it, and I don't think anyone's even wanting to have that conversation. We're still all excited about the shiny new toy instead of thinking about what it means.
