Setsuko, Seiji and Hitoshi in Obama, Japan as Obama in Indiana
a companion video installation to the Karaoke Convention Campaign

As a companion to the public project in Denver (Karaoke Convention), I traveled to the Japanese town of Obama and met with a business association called the Obama for Obama Support Group. I offered them a custom-made karaoke version of Obama's Primary Speech in Indiana, translated into Japanese. Several of the members delivered this speech/performed the track on the top floor of a karaoke parlor in a hotel in the center of town.
