De(kon)strukcja wirtualnej gwiazdy
The De(con)struction of a Virtual Star

Summary/Abstract: Mateusz Chaberski reports on a concert by Hatsune Miku, the world's most famous hologram songstress, at the Transmediale Festival in Berlin (2-7.02.2016). The author describes the various parts of the performance, recapping the history and mechanics of this digital art project and the technologies it uses. Chaberski also mentions how the artists describe the aim of this project, stating that “observing the deconstruction of the ideal music star, the audience realizes that Miku is merely a hollow vehicle upon which we project our collective fantasies.” On this basis, he criticizes them for misunderstanding the function of the digitally-generated figures of contemporary culture and the attempt to set boundaries between correct and incorrect ways of experiencing new art.
