Karaoke (ART) is Random Scream’s gesture to create a unique event from the collision of contemporary art and the karaoke phenomenon. Over the past year Random Scream has invited 25 internationally acclaimed artists to create their own video for a popular karaoke song.
Each artist was given a selection of songs to choose from and asked to use their own personal style to reflect on what it’s like to live in the world today using the song as their conduit. The artists were free to create whatever video they desired as long as it embedded the karaoke music and words. The only performers this evening will be you, the audience, as someone choosing a song to sing can only activate the artwork. Enjoy.
