In 1975, Pink Floyd released Wish You Were Here, featuring Welcome to the Machine, a critique of the dehumanizing effects of the music industry and modern society.

Proposal for Live Performances 3 This reinterpretation involves a live-coded music and visuals performance using SuperCollider, where a human also interacts with an AI model—"The Machine." Visuals generated with Animatron illustrate the feedback loop between digital and material elements, enhancing the theme of hybridization. This piece invites reflection on the real-time creation process, questioning the nature of authorship and the role of AI as an active collaborator in contemporary creativity.
