TNT SideCaraoke is a social practice artwork where participants perform karaoke through the built-in karaoke system in TNT Traysikel, a mobile sculpture funded by SFAC. Two participants will be able to cruise the streets of San Francisco in a rare Filipino sidecar while singing karaoke. This 30-minute experience is completely unique, absurd, and 100% exhilarating!


TNT Traysikel, a collaborative project led by Michael Arcega and Paolo Asuncion, is a mobile sculpture and a site for joyous singing (TNT SideCaraoke) and collecting narratives for archiving and broadcasting Filipinx American contributions and achievements through a forthcoming film (funded by SFAC). TNT SideCaraoke has been presented at SFMOMA; YBCA; Exploratorium; Saint Joseph’s Arts Society; Kapwa Gardens; and other venues in San Francisco. It will be featured at the Asian Art Museum in June 2022. Michael Arcega is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installation. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. He has degrees from SFAI and Stanford University, and is an Associate Professor of Art at San Francisco State University. Paolo Asuncion is an art director, graphic designer and an independent filmmaker. His films have garnered awards in the New York, Lisbon, French Riviera, Toronto, and Tokyo Motorcycle Film Festival.
