Elodie, Paco, and the team at Neweb Labs in Montreal have created Maya Kodes — from code. She’s not just a new girl group — she is a new girl.

Maya is a fully scripted and created hologram in performance, based on a set of technology used to bring her to live audiences.  In this podcast, Elodie and Paco share the decisions Maya had to make, the creative choices for creating a new “personality,” and the quirky limits and opportunities from working with an artist without emotion or living soul. What does this provide in opportunities for localization, multiple locations, and artists?
