By Sal Pizarro Mercury News Supporters of this summer's ZeroOne San Jose digital art festival gathered Sunday afternoon at Villa Lauriston, the stately Portola Valley home of Norio Sugano and Leah Middlebrook. The reception, hosted by 1stAct Silicon Valley and the Asia America MultiTechnology Association, featured an eye-opening performance by San Francisco-based vocalist Pamela Z, who digitally loops her operatic voice to create layers of sound and then couples those with music she creates through gestures. She wears BodySynth sensors that pick up electrical impulses created by her muscle movements and turn those impulses into sound. ZeroOne director Steve Dietz said the performance and a talk with artist Jim Campbell were glimpses into what the festival has to offer. ``There's no single thing we can define as `digital art,' '' he said. ``You may not like everything there, but I guarantee that there will be something you find amazing.''
