At the museum Grand Palais in Paris, France, Keiichiro Shibuya held a concert.
This performance was part of the closing event for Chiharu Shiota’s exhibition “Soul Shaking,” which concluded on Wednesday, March 19. Not only concert, but also at the beginning of the event, Shibuya’s sound installation work “Abstract Music,” proclaiming that it will “never be repeated, continuously evolving forever,” resonated throughout the venue. A poetry reading overlapped with the music, generated by an AI program that creates infinite poems, crafted by the emerging artist Hiroshi Kishi. As the audience moved through the space, they experienced a new form of art combining music and AI in the museum setting.

This performance was also presented as a prototype for a project selected under the support of Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan, Japan Arts Council. Aimed at fostering young creators and promoting international experience, it involved not only artists but also aspiring stage staff and producers.
