CONCEPT Spectacle Space The karaoke box is an intimate and isolated space containing intense emotional interaction among the participants. Spectacle is represented by an extreme diversity of identities, yet rarely experienced in its pure context, since the diluted simulation has made the original obsolete. The Blues is an example, where no true blues musician can make a living on his art, the foundation of rock & roll, yet the House of Blues is available in many cities with its iconic blues aesthetics and predictable culture. The intense, compressed, space of the box isolates it from all context, thus is an opportunity to transport one into an aesthetic - simulation.
