Five Juried Exhibitions! 200 Artists from Around the World! One Week in San Jose!
Interactive City (def.) The surprising ways people can interconnect with ZeroOne San Jose artworks stationed throughout the downtown city streets.
Loca - Drew Hemment, Mika Raento, John Evans, Theo Humphries. A person walking through the city centre hears a beep on their phone and glances at the screen. Instead of an SMS alert they read a message: “We are currently experiencing difficulties monitoring your position: please wave your network device in the air.” And the adventure begins…
P2P: Power to the People - Matt Gorbet, Susan Gorbet, Rob Gorbet. P2P is a 30-foot interactive marquee hanging on the façade of a building in downtown San José. 125 light bulbs, with 125 corresponding switches just across the street that people can control. Solo interaction blends with group dynamics as messages from vanity to profanity, from emotion to allegiance, are constantly created and changed.
DIY Urban Challenge - Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Katherine Moriwaki. A workshop in which participants "hack" the streets of San Jose, creating objects which interject themselves into the urban fabric, to stimulate new experiences of the city. During a two day workshop participants will traverse San Jose detailing points of intersection and friction, and will use recycled and cast-off materials as well as wireless technologies to develop objects which can be installed within the cityscape.
Free Network Visible Network - Diego Diaz and Clara Boj Tovar with Liu Wei, Duy Nguyen and Adrian Cheok (IERC, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
