Saturday's Eurovision: Shine a Light event is not the show fans have come to know and love but these are exceptional times.

The inaugural AI Eurovision Song Contest, organised by Dutch broadcaster VPRO, is one of the first events to take the process of using algorithms to compose original music out of academia and avant-garde experimentation and into the commercial world.
