ZERO1: The Art & Technology Network (San Jose, CA)

General

• Mission:

ZERO1 is where art meets technology to shape the future.

• History:

In 1995, high tech marketing pioneer Andy Cunningham, who had been instrumental to the success of companies such as Apple, Cisco, and Hewlett Packard, was inspired to bring artists and technologists together to explore and incubate art and ideas that would change the world. Five years later, ZERO1: The Art & Technology Network was born.

Working with some of the most fertile and creative minds from the worlds of art, science, design, architecture, and technology, ZERO1 produces the ZERO1 Biennial- and international showcase of work at the nexus of art and technology; and the ZERO1 Garage- where principles of artistic creativity are applied to real world innovation challenges.

ZERO1 Biennial was launched in 2006, and has since then become North America's most significant biennial of art at the intersection of technology. Through curated exhibitions, public art installations, performances and speaker events, the ZERO1 Biennial presents work by a global community of innovative artists who are shaping contemporary culture, Over its 3 iterations, the ZERO1 Biennial has presented the work of 500 artists from over 50 countries, commissioned 80 original art works, making ZERO1 one of the largest commissioning bodies in the US, attracted 100,000 attendees from around the world, and contributed $20 million in economic revenue to the region.

The Garage is the next initiative to emerge from ZERO1. Through the lens of art and technology, the ZERO1 Garage will inform strategies for research, development, and creativity by provoking challenges that address the complex world in which we live. The ZERO1 Garage is envisioned as platform for risk-takers from the arts and culture, science, business, and academic sectors to interact and spur innovative solutions.
