Karaoke Ice is an ice cream truck that transforms into a mobile karaoke unit, customized with karaoke mics, disco ball, speakers, and driven by a squirrel cub with a penchant for cheap magic. The truck, or Lucci as she is known, is a tasty pop culture hybrid, one that brings three familiar expressions of “network culture”—ice cream trucks, datasets, and karaoke bars-to the festival streets of San Jose.
This work was commissioned for ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge, CADRE / SJSU, and the Montalvo Arts Center Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs.
It was designed and produced in collaboration with students and graduates of the San Jose State Cadre Laboratory for New Media.
