A musician who has been with the rocker for four decades tells Estadão he sees no problem in using afterimages to create possibilities: “When we got on a plane, he said, ‘What a Stone Age thing.’
Rita Lee he would be delighted if someone decided to use his image with Artificial Intelligence techniques. One of the only people who can claim this, and at the same time Stadiumhe says, is the musician who has been by his side for the past four decades, Robert de Carvalho.
When asked about people’s arguments against the recent use of the image by Elis Regina in a commercial of Volkswagen, saying that the next step would be to have Rita sell popcorn in the dark of the cinema, smiling: “Let’s hope.” Roberto doesn’t condemn him and says he knows that not even his ex-wife would condemn him: “I see an image of Rita like this with complete peace of mind. She loved those things”.
The themes that connect technology to the advancement of human possibilities, Roberto recalls, were the singer’s passion. “The conversation with Rita was a lot about extraterrestrials, she had these pictures of planes and rockets taking off into space like something obsolete. When we get on a flight, she’s like, ‘That’s stone age stuff.’ smile.”
But you have to be consistent, he says too. Uses of posthumous images would be valid, but provided they don’t hurt the thoughts of those who are no longer here to question themselves. If Elis sounded like coherent singing Like our parentsall smiling, in an advertisement for a car factory, there may be controversies on which Roberto prefers not to comment.
And if the same happens to Johnny Cashwho just emerged singing a version of the improbable and the idiot Barbie girl – that’s right, the idea is to scare you, fear is the soul of the business of artificial souls -, moreover, he doesn’t put himself in the position of judge. What appears to be true is that the afterlife is not always related to life but will be used more and more. Roberto remembers a phrase from Rita in the song I refuse: “Play serious and take the joke seriously”
