During the rehearsal of the community choir, the conductor took a short break and, on her mobile device, discovered a roulette game inspired by a marching band. With visual notes spinning in perfect harmony, she was amazed. The wheel stopped, and she was overjoyed when the number she had chosen came up. had created a game that combined the excitement of a slot machine with the thrill of a casino, all while maintaining an uncanny sense of timing. As the reels cascaded, winning combinations appeared, and one day, she even got a multiplier of 100x!

Karaoking the Museum

Added on by Zachary Gough.

Karaoking the Museum uses the form of popular songs to tell the material and social history of art through the participatory form of karaoke. Popular songs have been paired with artworks in the Portland Art Museum and have had their lyrics altered to reveal the context in which the artworks were made.
