Holly Herndon

Gray Area x Algorithmic Art Club Present Holly Herndon
Electronic musician Holly Herndon and her live ensemble presage a sonic future that connects human and machine to realize new definitions of beauty. Her dance-inflected experimental music investigates the nature of humanity in the digital age--including her 2019 album PROTO, made in part with artificial intelligence. Drawing from folk traditions of East Tennessee, Berlin's radical club culture, and her Stanford graduate studies on machine learning and music, Herndon's complex and riveting music promises a unique live performance.
In 2019, she broke ground on her third full-length, PROTO. Holly Herndon fronts and conducts an electronic pop choir comprised of both human and A.I. voices over a musical palette that encompasses everything from synths to Sacred Harp stylings. CNN says Holly is "shaping the future of A.I." as she operates at the nexus of technological evolution and musical catharsis.
This performance is presented by Gray Area and Algorithmic Art Club, a series of events featuring artists using algorithmic processes.
