Simmer Down Sprinter is a two player, sit-down, arcade style video game designed and programmed by artist Steve Lambert in which players compete to move runners around a track. The game is controlled by player’s bio-feedback. The more relaxed the player becomes, the faster the runner moves around the track. Essentially it is a game of competitive relaxation.

Be sure to visit Anno Domini between August 8-12 to test your powers of repose against your friends and foe when Simmer Down Sprinter will be installed in AD's storefront at the gallery. Be sure to bring quarters!

This exhibition coincides with the ZeroOne San Jose Festival.

DIGDUG is a monthly listening party and record swap at AD hosted by Nate "Ennui" LeBlanc.

Each installment features a plethora of talent behind the decks who have been encouraged to play what they want, utilizing those forgotten corners of the collection that don't fit at clubs, bars, or parties. We've also invited some of the deepest collectors in the area to bring a few crates of gems to sell or swap.

DigDug is held every second Tuesday of the month from 8-11 p.m.

Admission: Free and open to the public
