As a virtual human, Fi will gradually change looks and styles.
Fi is a virtual robot that releases music and exists on social media just like any other artist. But Fi takes everything a step further.
The virtual pop star Fi goes beyond the limitations of defined gender identities, ethnicities, subcultures, and music genres. Fi gradually changes looks and styles, mixes different genres of music and collaborates with a wide variety of artists.
Fi is the world’s first fluid virtual artist and collaborative robot.
Made up of various creative artificial intelligence (AI) tools, the collaborative robot (cobot) Fi is the first digital artist of a new generation to apply technology in an innovative and inclusive way. Fi does this by organising open jam sessions in which AI tools are used to challenge, inspire and assist collaborating musicians.
But Fi also exists live: augmented reality and hologram techniques allow Fi to be on stage – just like any other artist.
Fi’s virtual journey and life story is co-written by the latest AI technology.
It has become increasingly difficult to imagine the music industry without any form of computer technology. Capitol Records is signing robot rappers, Ariana Grande is a 3D character in video games and ABBA now performs as a hologram. However, the latest and most advanced technology is not always accessible to all artists – be they new or firmly established.
Thunderboom Records is therefore introducing Fi as the first fluid virtual pop star and collaborative robot, making the latest and most advanced technology accessible to all artists.
