The Machine à Tubes [The Hit Machine] is an installation that creates and performs unique songs for people.

After interacting with the machine, each visitor is treated to a song composed specifically for them, inspired by the artist My name is Fuzzy.

Continuing his innovative approach to pop music, Bastien Bron now explores artificial intelligence, embracing its fantasies and limitations. Instead of questioning whether AI will save or destroy humanity, he prefers to test its ability to entertain us.

Although it's called The Hit Machine, there's no guarantee it will produce a single hit. Like an artist dreaming of creating "the" hit, the machine tries infinite combinations of notes and lyrics, not knowing if it will succeed.

It has been fed melodies and themes imagined by the artist, which the AI uses to create new content. The audience is invited to interact with the machine and make choices to generate new songs.

Danceable, playful, or unsettling, the work offers an ironic look at the algorithms shaping our tastes and desires.

The machine plays with its own obsolescence, blending contemporary technology with retro-futuristic craftsmanship.
