Karaoke Ice
Designed by Nancy Nowacek, Katie Salen and Marina Zurkow

This public art project, an ice cream truck-turned-mobile-karaoke-unit, will be deployed throughout Los Angeles to unite people in a collective quest to perform and record new versions of pop songs using the vernacular of ice cream truck music. Karaoke Ice introduces people to the playful ways in which technology can be used to give voice to personal and collective concerns, as well as enable meaningful social interaction between groups, both large and small. While Karaoke Ice explores a large range of LA neighborhoods, LACE's Listening Parties will invite a diversity of communities into LACE.

The Tour
Breaking out from its LACE Hollywood headquarters, the Karaoke Ice tour will visit an array of distinct neighborhoods across Los Angeles. Lucci and Remedios will make daytime and evening appearances at a variety of public spaces that encourage social gathering. Come and join the tour and rediscover Los Angeles through Karaoke!
