The Mothership demonstrates how technology can be used to enhance the experience of a live performance. The use of advanced lighting, sound, and special effects helped create an experience that was about more than just the music. The innovative use of the Mothership as a stage prop, paved the way for other artists to explore the use of technology in their own work. Clinton’s legacy continues to inspire and influence musicians and artists around the world, making him one of the most important figures in the history of funk and popular music.

His body of work continues to inspire and influence musicians and artists worldwide, making him one of the most important figures in the history of Funk and popular music.

Mothership Goes Down the Rabbit Hole, in the Style of George Clinton

We can continue to celebrate the usual artists (Van Gogh, Greiner, Rutkowski etc) as we create generative art and wow our crowds and communities but like George Clinton, I choose to be different. It is Black History month and my choice is to always highlight, showcase and embrace Black creators. Today my prompts have been “in the style of George Clinton” to celebrate the man, the music and the Mothership. I encourage you to join me.

Help us celebrate #Funk #Music and #AI, #chatbots #chatgpt #ufos and mostly the greatness of those who laid it down for us like George Clinton and Bootsy Collins. Get your tickets to the Funk n Future Festival and help the next generation understand what the funk it means to combine Funk and Technology.
