Ever wanted to meet music legend Nile Rodgers?
UK start-up, Forever, in conjunction with the National Portrait Gallery have created the world’s first voice-interactive digital portrait called In The Room. The piece allows users to sit face to face and virtually ‘meet’ and with the Grammy-winning guitarist, singer-songwriter, record producer and composer from the comfort of their own homes.
Nile Rodgers is one of the most interesting people on the planet. From founding the slick dance act Chic in the 1970s, penning disco smashes for Diana Ross and Sister Sledge, working with a long list of high profile artists that includes everyone from David Bowie, Madonna, Duran Duran and INXS to Lady Gaga and Daft Punk in more recent years, he is the perfect choice for this awesome interactive experience.
In The Room allows you to ask Nile over 350 questions via a voice-controlled feature similar to Siri. From the profound to the personal, questions range from “What’s your favourite food?” to “What was David Bowie like to work with?” With more than five hours of high-definition footage, users can delve deep into the extraordinary career of this remarkable artist in what really feels like a one-on-one encounter.
Anyone can enjoy a free encounter that allows you to ask Nile three questions. You can access the full 5 hours of footage and 350 questions, by registering for a Full Access Pass for £20 – approximately $36 AUD. Follow this link to meet Nile Rodgers!
