I think doing holograms of dead people is right IF It actually pays respect and give tribute to the artist. If it's just for money, Then yeah it's very disrespectful for the artist that died.
With the technology it makes sense why they’ve made holograms of long dead artists, as unethical as it is. But with this same technology they can make virtual props, outfits, icons, and other pieces that heavily tie to an artist without being disrespectful. Like why not recreate the locations of some of Amy’s music videos, her dresses, or lights to visualize the music in a unique way that doesn’t feel like just puppeting a dead persons image.
My favorite hologram performance story is with Chief Keef, who for his legal troubles couldn't perform in his home town of Chicago, so for a concert, the promoters got the hologram set-up, and he was to perform from his California home. The police came in and stopped the show five minutes in.
You were right, I definitely didn't expect this, but it's actually quite an important topic to discuss. I am personally pretty much on the same page as you, in that bringing back dead people is probably over the line. And once again, I really enjoyed the vibe of the video. You're really good at this!
