Marina Zurkow Karaoke Ice was designed and produced in collaboration with students and graduates of the San Jose State Cadre Laboratory for New Media. The CADRE Laboratory at San Jose State University is an interdisciplinary academic and research program dedicated to the experimental use of information technology and art. As a Visionary Sponsor of ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge, CADRE and SJSU co-sponsored Karaoke Ice in collaboration with the Montalvo Arts Center Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs. Karaoke Ice's unique residency involved a collaboration with graduate and undergraduate students from the CADRE Digital Media Art program.
Cadre Laboratory Team (the believers):
Web Development Team (html funk):
Software Development Team (code connivers):
Build Team (heroes of heavy metal): The residency was co-supported by The Sally and Don Lucas Artists Programs, an international, multi-disciplinary residency center, which opened in the fall of 2004 within the Montalvo Arts Center. The Lucas Artists Programs foster temporary communities of highly motivated, talented, committed, creative and critical minds from a range of disciplines and from different parts of the globe.Collaboration and network development form key emphases of the Programs, whether in the form of fellows working with each other, with Silicon Valley industry, with Montalvo's education program and other departments, or through ties with Bay Area, national, and international arts, cultural, and academic institutions. Artist Bios:
Nancy Nowacek is a graphic and sound designer interested in narrative, identity, and social interaction. She has worked on interactive community-based narrative installations for the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and UNICEF, as well as producing polite mischief and social discourse through The Starlings, a collaboration with Marina Zurkow. Thomas Asmuth is a MFA student at the CADRE Laboratory for New Media. A dreamer, Thomas, can often be found setting off white-hot reactions, turning prescriptions into plush toys, and monitoring cosmic ray bursts inside mason jars. http://dma.sjsu.edu/~tasmuth/index.html John Bruneau recently completed his MFA degree in Digital Media from The CADRE Laboratory for New Media at SJSU. During his time as a graduate student he was an instructor at Cadre as well as an editor for Switch. He did his undergraduate work at UCSD and holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts and Music. Much of his work revolves around surveillance and interface. However, recently John has switched gears a bit, getting back to his roots. His research of late has turned more towards gaming, cellular automata, and information systems visualization. Currently John Bruneau works as a web developer for the San Jose Convention Center and Visitors Bureau as well as an instructor for the Television Radio Film and Theater department at SJSU. John is currently working on three other projects also to be featured in ISEA: Ex_XX :: Post Position, BodyDaemon, and DrumFi. John Bruneau feels it awkward writing about himself in the third-person.
Art should make people wake up and look around with out telling them what to think.Art should be in flux and engaging not stagnant.Artists shouldn't take them selves too seriously... Seriously.

Mechanized and installed guard railings. Problem-solved and fabricated the mounting of the mirror ball. Installed the top sign panels on the lighted mount fabricated by Sarah Lowe and researched possiblities for the rotation of the sign (sign rotation was later cut due to budget). Installed the exterior sign. Fabricated curtain hanger from materials provided. Assisted Sarah Lowe in the demolition of the large wooden shelves that came with the truck.
