ISEA2006 and ZeroOne San Jose
Several months ago we heard the news that San Jose had won the bid to host the ISEA Symposium in 2006. It was one of the most promising signs that our city could one day come to be known for its contributions to arts and culture. San Jose is reknown for its visionaries and innovation in technology, but when it comes to the furtherance of the rest of the creative class... well, let's just say, we've been lagging.
But anyone that lives here or has been watching our city with an inquisitive eye can see that something is changing. The powers-that-be seem to be catching on. There's an interest, if not a buzz, about the merging of art, culture and technology. That bridge we've been desiring for years that crosses over this creative stream, connecting us all, appears to finally be in the works.
We were invited to participate in the project. My partner, Cherri Lakey, and I are on ZeroOne San Jose's Events Committee and we are the organizers/producer's of Night Culture during the festival. We'll be keeping you informed of opportunities as they arise; both for artists and venues/organizations. Feel free to contact us with interest or inquiries.
The 2006 edition of the internationally renowned ISEA Symposium will be held August 5-13, 2006, in San Jose, California.
Every two years, currently, cities bid to host ISEA's International Symmposium on Electronic Art. Prior host cities include Helsinki, Paris, Sydney, Montreal, Chicago, Manchester and Nagoya. For 2006, the ISEA Board accepted San Jose's proposal to host the Symposium from August 5-13.
ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge
ZeroOne San Jose is a milestone festival to be held biennially that makes accessible the work of the most innovative contemporary artists in the world. In 2006 it will be held in conjunction with the ISEA2006 Symposium.
