If you haven’t picked up this week’s edition of the Metro, then you’ve missed a great piece on ZER01 by Gary Singh. For those of you who live beyond the Metro’s circulation, check the story out online. Enjoy. We did!
If you missed the bash last night, don’t fret; there will be plenty more now that ZER01 has put its flag in the ground, so to speak, in downtown San Jose. There will be photos of the completed space coming soon but for those of you who enjoy the “before” story, take a peek at what the office looked like pre the intervention of Design Response and its fabulous partners.
From April 17 to June 24, 2009, the Digital Arts and New Media MFA program at UC Santa Cruz presents the work of ten graduate students in a two-part exhibition at The Museum of Art & History in downtown Santa Cruz. We invite you to interact with the newest generation of digital media art and artists at the receptions on Friday, May 1 and Friday, June 5.
Entitled interACTIVATE, this exhibition is the culmination of two years of research and artistic exploration into digital media art and its social impact. The show includes new media works that explore performativity, interactivity, participation and politics. These works probe the interplay of private and public space and interrogate the edges of contemporary new media art practice.
It’s not widely known yet, but ZER01 is about to open its downtown headquarters. Our new diggs are swank and make it clear that ZER01 is a cutting-edge arts organization. We’ll be be Tweeting live from the event so if you’ve got an account, talk to us. We’ll also be posting pics and video here so if Twitter’s not your thing, you can still check out what happened.
If you aren’t a local or if you are and don’t read SFGate.com, then you might not know that the super hip, super fabulous JD Beltran has started a blog for the news site called Art and Culture Fix. Part of the site’s City Brights program, she’s one of several Bay Area luminaries sharing insights on a host of topics from science to arts. Be sure to check out her insightful postings on the arts & culture scene as she sees it.
If you’re entering the Visual Design Competition, we’ve updated the artist release so be sure to check it out.
The new site has been up for six days now and we’d love your feedback. Most of the attention, no doubt, is going to the Visual Design Competition, which is now underway. It’s an incredible opportunity for emerging artists/designers to graphically interpret the theme for the 2010 01SJ Biennial, Build Your Own World. We’ve reached out to d-schools around the globe and design magazines across a spectrum of fields, but we want to ensure everyone who might be interested gets the word. What’s more, there will be six winners not just one, so help us spread the news.
