LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER and a show featuring self-driving cars at Eurovision
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER takes the stage today in the second Eurovision semifinal, featuring 15 contestants. Their performance is a blend of concert, laboratory, and performance art, where music is literally born from mechanisms and strange contraptions.
This is an artist who has long gone beyond the usual concept of a “musician” and turned his work into an experiment with technology, sound, and the stage, according to the official Eurovision website.
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER is an electronic musician, experimental artist, and inventor of unique musical machines, known for creating his own instruments literally from scratch. He has toured the UK and Europe with his custom-built “Kosmo” synthesizer, which has become the centerpiece of his live performances.
He first gained widespread attention back in 2014 as the frontman of the indie rock band ZIBRA, which even performed at the legendary Glastonbury Festival in 2015. Later, the artist went solo and fully immersed himself in electronic music and synthesizer experiments, gradually developing his recognizable style.
His YouTube channel brought him particular fame, where he has amassed over 1.4 million subscribers and more than 85 million views thanks to videos about music and his own inventions, which often resemble an engineering show more than traditional music videos. Among his most famous experiments are an organ made from Furby toys, a Star Wars-style droid orchestra, and even a bicycle synthesizer, which has become a signature feature of the artist’s work.
No scandals or serious public conflicts involving the artist have been reported in the media; his public image remains focused on creativity, experimentation, and technical inventions.
It is worth noting the context of the contest: traditionally, the so-called “Big Five” of Eurovision include France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom—countries whose broadcasters make the largest financial contributions to the contest, so they automatically qualify for the final and do not participate in the semifinals.
However, in 2026, this group effectively became a “four,” as Spain withdrew from the contest. The Spanish broadcaster RTVE announced a boycott due to Israel’s participation amid the war in Gaza, so this year, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, as well as the host country Austria, have automatic qualification for the final.
