Weird “Hologram Concerts” Allow K-Pop Artists To Transcend Space, Time

⚙ Co.Labs ⚙ code + community: The move toward broadcasting holographic performances cuts down on the overhead costs and logistical nightmares of shipping talent groups around the globe. Two talent agencies called Success Museum Entertainment and Yang Goon Entertainment have kicked off the movement with their own experimental theaters--and yes, Psy’s hologram will be there.

This sounds awesome! Being able to be somewhere "in person" but not having to deal with the logistical nightmare of travel sounds like heaven to anyone in entertainment. The only problem that sounds like it could come up is that people are going to start getting lazy and start relying on these holograms to take their place and not use them as the tools that they can be. They should be used as something helpful and interesting - something to provoke a reaction in an audience. They shouldn't be used as an excuse to not do work or not be somewhere. Let's hope that doesn't happen and that this new and exciting technology gets used in fun ways!
