will.i.am’s fascinating contribution to the Barbican’s digital creativity exhibition was a collaborative project called Pyramidi. In this immersive experience, visitors encountered a 6-foot-tall 3D animated will.i.am wearing an ancient Egyptian headdress. The animated figure followed visitors around the room, its eyes tracking their movements. Alongside this captivating visual, three robot instruments—drums, piano, and guitar—played a specially written song called "Dreamin’ About the Future"
