The Kraken Sub

The Kraken Submarine (KSub) is an interactive art and performance vehicle. Built on top of a heavily modified Ute chassis and engine, we added a welded structural frame.

Curved ribs were then attached to define the exterior shape and skinned in wood to complete the look of a Steampunk meets Yellow Submarine deep-sea vessel. This presence from the outside is what people will first experience, and many are astounded once they discover you can climb inside, and drive it around!

Entering the hatch brings you into the Captain’s Quarters –
seating for 10, a visually rich place of nautical and scientific
paraphernalia and ethereal lights, with a boudoir feel. Adjacent to the Captain’s Quarters level is the cockpit, itself an impressive enclosure which houses the captain piloting the KSub, multiple camera feeds of the surrounding area for proximity safety, as well as an equipment rack which houses the supporting infrastructure, computers, amplifiers, and so on. Climbing the ladder brings you to the main deck. This has space for 10 to 15 people and provides an optimal platform for perusing the high seas and the dancing crowd beneath. Upward from the main deck is the sonar deck which is the DJ and performance booth.
