1st Thursday: Robot Karaoke

Sing songs you know with never-before-sung lyrics generated from bizarre Internet datasets. Spam emails to the tune of "Sweet Caroline"? OkCupid profiles in the style of "Pink Pony Club"? The choice is yours! Comedian and writer Jamie Brew creates parodies for you to perform in real time using software from the utmost frontier of karaoke research. This event celebrates the final month of the special exhibition RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY: Internet Art. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Jamie Brew is a karaoke safety researcher based in Brooklyn. He writes for The Onion, was the head writer of ClickHole and cofounded Botnik, an art tech group devoted to absurdly small language models. He created and hosts Robot Karaoke, an interactive live show featuring familiar songs with never-before-sung words.
