hq4ai · x · 2026-10-12
The author recounts organizing a full offline concert for AI virtual singer Yuri at the Inclusion Bund AI Arts Festival in September 2026. The team had earlier received China's first sandbox permit for commercial offline virtual-human performances from Beijing Economic-Development Area authorities.
Visuals were produced with ByteDance's Jimeng AI using Seedance 2.0's omnibus-reference video generation, rendering content for a 12K, 100-meter stage screen (the production UI is visible in the attached images).
This 7,000+ word piece is part one of a series; follow-ups will detail the Jimeng production pipeline and broader thoughts on taking AI IP offline.
