M.I.A. and Janelle Monáe performed a pair of hologram-enhanced duets at parties for the launch of the Audi A3 last night. As previously reported, each artist was on stage on a different coast at the same time, with Monáe singing in Los Angeles and M.I.A. in New York.
For the duets, Monáe and M.I.A. were beamed into each other's respective venues as holograms, sort of the like the concert equivalent of being Skyped in for a conference call. Monae's hologram did a guest rap verse on M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" and M.I.A.'s did one on Monáe's "Q.U.E.E.N."
