AI MUSIC COLLABORATION

A live music performance in collaboration with A.I.

As a singer, songwriter, producer, and performance artist, Portrait XO invites the audience to immerse themselves in live AI audiovisuals onstage that translate their obsession with human-machine collaboration.  There is an ongoing ever-evolving dialogue that unfolds while questioning what AI looks and sounds like.

Living in the era of data overload, and AI that’s been propelling new forms and methods for music and art-making, we get a glimpse of how they address questions we all have about the future of AI (and other emerging technology).  How does this make us feel?  What does it all mean?  How are we evolving and devolving?

Portrait XO’s human-machine collaborations are a showcase of how Artificial Intelligence can become an instant idea generator with flows of spark for new musical works, accompanied by interactive visuals.

SYNESTHESIA EXPERIENCE

An all senses captivating dining experience.

4% of the population has synesthesia, a cross-wiring of the senses. The more we understand how we function internally, we can create a better experience for our lives externally. In ‘Synthesis’ Portrait XO invites you to explore how sound and taste can be associated with the colors and textures around you. How can we explore the external world to discover our internal senses in a new way?

PortraitXO conceptualizes experiences from synaesthetic reactions between sound and taste. She turns a full-course dinner into an immersive dining experience by taking the guests on a live sound-journey of every dish’s flavors. PortraitXO translates each ingredient into musical layers according to the constant flow of sensory stimulation of each course, played live one at a time. Her synesthesia performances create an even more memorable dining experience by intensifying the food’s taste through activation of the audience’s hearing senses.
