bayes  is the first officially released music created using a new algorithm developed by Google. Byrke Lou collaborated directly with Google’s developers to bring the algorithm to life. The work explores life in a future driven by virtual and artificial intelligence, using pop culture methods to engage with the theme. The title bayes  references   Bayes’ Theorem,  first published in 1763, which helps calculate event probabilities and is widely used in machine learning and AI. Supported by the Goethe-Institut.
