Jean-Michel Jarre – China, AI as "Augmented Imagination" & Life with Gong Li | Jin Xing Interview
In this exclusive conversation, electronic music legend Jean-Michel Jarre sits down with Chinese icon Jin Xing to discuss his artistic journey, cultural ties, and vision for the future.
Jarre recalls being the first Western artist to perform in China, with monumental shows at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City — a journey he calls a “pilgrimage” that later led him to meet and marry Gong Li, the “queen of cinema.”
He shares his belief that AI is not Artificial Intelligence but “Augmented Imagination”, a creative tool to expand artistic horizons. Jarre also opens up about his views on intellectual property, his pioneering approach to music and technology, and his ongoing projects.
A rare, intimate look at one of the most influential artists of our time — bridging East and West, art and innovation, silence and sound.
The interview has been shot at the restaurant Laurent, located 41 avenue Gabriel, 75008 Paris.
The production does thank Mr Tony Gomez for his kindness and help.
