Using vernacular karaoke music video aesthetics, this work features a dinosaur couple on a road trip in the midst of a mid-life crisis. The couple travels through a small US town famous for dinosaur fossils and examines the lifestyle and cultural beliefs of rural America. Belief systems, obsolescence, and masculinity are addressed through the couple’s conversation. The karaoke installation invites viewers to sing along with the popular songs inserted in the digital video.
