Highlights of the Evening
A highlight of the evening was the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) as a key guest. For the first time in Serbia, AI was integrated into a live musical performance, marking a pioneering moment in the fusion of technology and human creativity. This integration demonstrated Konstrakta's openness to new possibilities and her role as a trailblazer in contemporary music. The collaboration with AI resulted in the premiere of new songs, which were composed and performed with the involvement of the technology, exploring themes of societal and technological dynamics. These AI-driven songs stood out as a defining moment in the concert, symbolizing the intersection of innovation and artistry in music.
Additionally, the audience was treated to the performance of "Evo, obećavam" (Promise Me), a song from 2023 that explores societal issues and further highlights Konstrakta's thought-provoking approach to songwriting. The concert also featured a diverse range of guests, including children, which emphasized Konstrakta’s commitment to community and collaboration as integral aspects of her artistic identity. This concert was not only a celebration of Konstrakta’s music but also a reflection of her pioneering achievements in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in live music, solidifying her place as a leading force in Serbian and global music scenes.
The success of this concert, with its innovative use of AI and its celebration of community, marked a defining chapter in Konstrakta’s career, underscoring her ability to continuously break new ground while staying true to her artistic vision.
