why not just make new things

ALB's legend still lives on to this day.

It’s chill cause they are all overseeing this themselves but I fear when this comes to posthumous concerts 😮 also fear like abba in public, cmon now

Ms. Rebecca, How might I get an autographed copy of your book?

Try spending that amount of money sorting this world out first. Mankind needs a kick up the arse. Who cares what’s out there. We don’t live a long enough life to bother what’s going on out there. We need help here 🤬

Why doesn't anyone film the abbatars? 🤔

Nice short !

I saw ABBA in 1977. That was great, but I had to share the experience with tens of thousands from 100 metres away. I have been to London 3 times and been front and centre of stage 10 times. Going again in 4 weeks from Melbourne Australia, for the 4th time to see ABBA Voyage for another 4 times totalling 14 concerts. ABBA Voyage is the most amazing experience I have ever had. Thank you ABBA for the pure joy Voyage delivers XXX

wauw i trying to become a watchmaker in Holland and its so difficult it broke me a little! i need help ???

Fantastic interview what an interesting lady superb viewing great history lesson 😊😊

Somehow the Tourbillon got overlooked in that collection of achievements.

As Rebecca mentions, in the 1780s Breguet came to London. But not generally known is that he met John Arnold who gave him information about:- Watch jewelling Compenation balances Floating balances Detent escapements Non ferrous balance springs ie those of gold The overcoil, enabling isochronal adjustment in watches The idea of theTourbillon None of the above were invented by Breguet, so IMHO it was Arnold who made the greatest contribution to watchmaking.

My father was a Watchmaker to trade; I chose Musical Instruments 😉

Time can be seen as a perception to articulate the world of a watchmaker with all its complexities and abstraction I question the viability of the pursuit the result of one's effort has to do the talking I feel

A possible use would also be for an Artist to perform at multiple different Locations at once, his real body would be performing live in America and his copies would perform at the same time as him all over the world or just all over amerika

It doesn't change the live music, because it's NOT LIVE MUSIC. Live music is, by definition, where actual musicians play on stage. Even when an actual musician "performs" by lip-syncing to prerecorded audio being played, it's not live music. While it may be an interesting experience, it's just a sophisticated form of a music video being played in 3D. You can emphasize the difference between "video" and "digital avatars", but this doesn't change the fact that it's pre-designed and prerecorded. There's nothing "live" (ie. happening spontaneously right at the very moment) about this.

You could dig up deceased artists and measure their craniums, best to get permission first though, I've heard KISS mention they are planning to do this also and I would believe that of them

I'm still not clear on the line between longtermism and utilitarianism. I understand that longtermists use utilitarianism to argue their points, so why call it something else?

It is "Industrial Light & Magic", please.

wow I had no idea keynote was so powerful thank you so much for this video. Cheers!

All you need for an equivalent of ABBA Voyage for existing groups/singers is a clone of ABBA Arena. Film the group or singer giving a “concert” in a studio with a green screen backdrop. Use a fixed camera for a front view and several others for close-ups on the big side screens. Use a suitable “green screen “ “backdrop” for the theatre concerned. Select various synchronised views during the show for the large side screens. The on-stage ABBAtars are convincing because they are so far from the audience. The images on the large screens are less convincingly ABBA. With actual footage of real group members the effect is even more convincing. Why will this work? I call it the “football” effect. If you enjoy football on the telly you enjoy it more when watching with a like-minded mate. With fifty like minded blokes down the pub you enjoy it even more. With a few thousand in a theatre you enjoy it even more. That applies even if the match is a recording. Proof of that is “ABBA The Movie”. The film was a success not because of the mundane plot or the ABBA clips but mainly because it was watched by full film theatres of like-minded fans. Millions of fans cannot physically get to a live concert by their favourite group or even afford to. This is a way for musicians to reach more fans and is a hundred times better than watching a DVD. The theatre need not be limited to a single singer or group. There could be differen performers on a daily basis. It could also double as an excellent cinema. I hope the above ha given you something to think about - and maybe even argue about.

ᗅᗺᗷᗅ Voyage

This was excellent. I thought I was a power Keynote user until I watched this. Have you ever created a splash effect on a slide?

Could we hear a composition of the sonorific watches. Any DJ's into horology. 55:32

This blew me away. All I wanna do is study time now. Maybe a doctorate ? Thankyou Rebecca. You have given me direction now.

Not many acts will be able to afford the mobile stadium, light show, and live support personnel to mask the fact it's a feckin movie. Go see the show again, you'll get the exact same performance.

Abba, kiss, etc .. like a 10 band concert. That would be cool. However, this is the future 😢 fake. Fake. Fake. Technology my arse, this us the beast system.

Well, it seems that KISS is going to “perform” as avatars too.

Ok, but there is absolutely, positively NO way, this digital stuff will ever replace the real deal. Nor will AI ever replace the demand for real books, movies, concerts, etc. They did this one-time avatar gig, for the sole purpose of delivering a unique experience for their fans to see them in their prime. But, there's no way this thing is going on a real tour, year after year!

They ensured their music a form of immortality, very clever people! 👏

Who is the most influential watchmaker of all time? Rebecca shares her thoughts drawing on her research for her recent book - and all in her signature warm and open style! You can check out the full interview here: ruclips.net/video/6ccwX0gA9ds/видео.html

Thank you so much, that's so amazing! I'm increasing my online presence, and so long as I'm a one-woman band, getting creative royalty-free design solutions started becoming an issue...

Why are you calling it a live concert, they never did.

One barrier to copying this is the need for 1000 animators working for several months. Few can afford this, and fewer would risk it. Of course if it gets more used, software will be developed that reduces the number of animators needed. But it will still be extremely expensive.

Fantastic interview with an interesting and thoughtful perspective on the history of learning how to tell time by our own creations…and in that act have fallen in love with our objects of timekeeping. So much heart from Ms. Struthers, and optimism for the future of watchmaking.

This is one of the best video/podcasts I have listened to for ages! I am very interested in horology and this is brilliant. I will be buying the book!

I just saw Voyage last week and it was insanely good. This will catch on no doubt

I agree that music artists with a very unique way of playing their instrument would be tougher to replicate with avamusitars. I think that some of the premiere musical acts from the 70's and 80's when the lighting, visual effects, and costumes in concerts became more theatrical would be best suited for this technology. I would personally like to see Queen, Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Blondie, or Genesis with this type of interesting technology. I will definitely go see this show when it comes across the pond hopefully to Las Vegas in the future.

Some day, these venues will be permanent in mid-to-large cities, and we will be able to go to "concerts" like we do the movies. I want to see ELVIS!

The real question is who owns this immortal act? Abba could now be removed from their careers as people have embraced this new performance. Esentially you are paying to see a video (movie), with currently live music.

AI will transform this tech within 10 years

Can someone explain, is it just a high fidelity cinema screen that you are watching them on?

A fascinating and enchanting interview with Rebecca masterfully conducted by James. I thank you both. My own copy of Rebecca's book arrived this afternoon and I look forward to reading it. Thank you and I appreciate your efforts.

I think this is awesome. Many of us wasn't even born when they were popular but we grew up loving them all the same and we are teaching our kids too!! I love the idea that we can kind of play time travel and see groups or people who are gone now or are old and don't perform anymore. It's not the real deal. But it's still their music, they were involved and made it, I think it's amazing. If I was a old artist and people still wanted to hear my music, but I couldn't perform I'd do this in a heartbeat. It makes me cry and my heart happy to even see clips of it. I'd be a blubbering baby if I saw this in person. And that's how you know you are dealing with something special.

ABBA have pulled this off extremely well, and are pioneers. They have extremely high standards, and I’m sure would not have gone ahead otherwise. It’s an incredibly well put together show, with live band, amazing lighting effects… and of course numerous songs! It will be sad if others try to use this technology but do it poorly. And it is slightly scary how such technology could be misused to manipulate, not so much by musicians, but politicians or businesses.

I thought this was a great summary introduction to the idea of longtermism, its origins and how it is different from other forms of long term thinking. To dive deeper into this fascinating area, check out the full interview with Richard here: 👉ruclips.net/video/ubTLwXj-zOM/видео.html

"It's a process and it takes time." Artisan watchmaker, Rebecca Struthers, shares some gentle wisdom about her creative process. Full interview here: ruclips.net/video/6ccwX0gA9ds/видео.html

👉 Watch the full interview with Rebecca here: ruclips.net/video/6ccwX0gA9ds/видео.html where Rebeca talks about the ingenious contraptions invented to help us tell the time and how they have been used to help us navigate and map the world, as well as to squeeze more productivity out of weary factory workers, and how these timepieces shape our perceptions of time today. Fascinating stuff.

Really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation with Rebecca. Her love of what she does (making and restoring watches + watch history) shines through in so many ways. There's a lot of great advice for how to nurture your creativity, stories from history of watches and how they've shaped our perception and understanding of time and travel (think longitudinal prize for navigation, maps etc), plus a glimpse of how Rebecca sees our perception of time being transformed in the not too distant future (right at the end!). Hope you enjoy the conversation and pictures from the book, illustrated by Rebecca's husband, Craig.

This is a great idea, but I think the mass appeal will definitely in 'resurrecting' artists from the past more than using artists that are still alive. One other idea I think would be cool would be using this technology for wrestling matches. Getting to see some of the greats from the 70s and 80s have dream matches with superstars of later decades would be an amazing sight.
