JEAN-MICHEL JARRE BRINGS "TOTAL WORK" TO ITALY: BETWEEN CONCERTS, AI AND IMMERSIVE ART
From May to November 2025, Italy is transformed into a generalized stage of Jean-Michel Jarre's "total work".
Milan, Venice and Pompeii will organize a cycle of events that intertwine art, music, technology and artificial intelligence, in an immersive journey between analog and digital. Concerts, installations and exhibitions will be part of a unique vision: that of an artist who has always lived the future.

"I invested a lot with AI" (video)

Since Versailles, Bratislava and La Rochelle? Or will it be the same AI scenography we've seen before?

Also, if AI is quick, responsive and agile (as we are told it is) then surely each of the Tour 2025 locations could have its own unique AI scenography? It could even have "real time" scenography, with images generated during the show based on inputs from drones or fixed cameras, and from audience participation.

I understand that back in 1979 at Concorde, as the crowd was assembling in the daytime, some of JMJ's support crew took Polaroid pictures of people in the audience (with their permission!) and then transferred the images onto the large glass projection slides that were used later that night during the show. So some of those in the crowd got to see themselves projected onto the buildings during the show - amazing, if true! What a great idea.

I suggest he reinvents this 1979 approach for 2025 using the latest visual tools.

Richard, I like your vision of how visuals could be used during the tour.

Hopefully, the tour is about to introduce some new ideas and innovation in musical point of view.

On Radio Capital he said: "All the songs will be reworked: we worked on the beats and it will be part of the show".
