Plastic figurines attached to cameras dangle up and down on bungee chords anchored high to the museum ceiling, while their ascend and descend images are projected on nearby flat screens. A graphite drawing with an electromagnetic spectrum pulsing through it creates sound out of thin air. Bright, vibrant, minimalist images of an IKEA catalog mock a world of consumerism. A woman atop a giant, tent-sized dress beckons patrons to enter the canopy, which houses sounds and images about climate change issues. Eerie, psychedelic-colored robotic creatures (made from plastic bottles and bags, alarm clocks, computer fans and other discarded consumer products) come to life upon the tripping of regular hardware store-bought motion sensors.

These are just a few of the artworks of Zero1 – the culmination of art and innovation, of Silicon Valley and the need to interpret contemporary life in artistic form, the melding of global crises and innovative thinking, of political movements and technological breakthroughs.
