Human to artificial (H2A): from duets with robot to a new model of relationship

The current technological revolution is significantly transforming different sectors and areas, creating new crosscutting and disruptive opportunities. Aware that the pervasiveness of certain technologies -in particular, those falling under definition 4.0- will be increasingly horizontal, it is necessary to try to hypothesize, at this time, new forms of interaction and relationships. It could serve as pillars for a change and development that defines technology as a means for innovation and not as the end of it. This research was born from the meeting between a design research group and an innovative Italian singer-songwriter, who study and experiment, each with their own skills, new possible kinds of relationship stimulated by the digital transformation that is investing our society: the research therefore aims to highlight the opportunities that may arise from the intersection between the creative and design worlds and the technologies of robotics and Artificial Intelligence used in music. Starting from the last artistic project of one of the authors, which fits perfectly in the highlighted area of interest, a second goal is to try to hypothesize a new paradigm of relationships between human beings and the aforementioned technologies, defined Human To Artificial (H2A), which can be a starting point to understand and further develop new approaches to technologies that will be increasingly present in everyday life, starting from creative stimuli.
