On Saturday nighttime , law hack power at a concert in Hammond , Indiana , to censor a holographic carrying into action by hip hop artist Chief Keef .
The Guardian reportsthat Chief Keef had just started do at Craze Fest when law pulled the plug . He was n’t really there , though . He was performing remotely from California , and appeared to the consultation as a “ hologram . ” As with many other purported holograph public presentation in the past — ahem , Holopac – Chief Keef was n’t really performing as a hologram ( which would be incredible ) . The illusion is really a advanced video recording jutting produce by a deceptively named company calledHologram USA . But hologram vocalize so much cooler , right ?
The event was a benefit for the family of Chef Keef ’s friend Marvin Carr , who was shoot and kill in Chicago last calendar month , as well as for Dillan Harper , a 13 - month - old who was killed by a car speeding off from the tantrum .
This is the second metre that a Chief Keef holograph carrying out has been halted by potency . Mr. Keef has undischarged guarantee in Illinois , and his appearance in any form is on the face of it being regarded by law enforcement as a threat to public wellbeing . From the report :
Chief Keef had do by hologram owing to several halt warrants against him in the neighbouring state of Illinois . However , other cities had refused to countenance him to do by hologram latterly . Last weekend , a similar visual aspect in Chicago was cancel after the faculty of mayor Rahm Emanuel called him “ an unacceptable function model ” who “ raise violence ” and whose presence , even via holograph , “ posed a meaning safety risk ” .
A video at an anti - violence fundraiser being shut off by police force is an ridiculous act of censorship . Of course , the entire performance was a stunt to commence with — and now , the official who wanted to shut it down have elevated it to a national newsworthiness story .
