Simmer Down Sprinter comes to San Jose!
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.

Trinity Sessions lineup for Friday, July 21st at AD.
Johnny Smith's songs are stories woven from the fabric of his life, including his time in prison, battles with law enforcement, and his struggle with drug addiction. Smith's unique vocal style and view of the world around him have cast him as a rogue artist.
C. Ryder Cooley & Jessie Rose Vala - Jessie and Ryder return to share an encore performance of accordion serenades, a singing saw and a collaborative animated story-telling experience! This will be the climactic end to their Deerwood and the Coral Cavern exhibit at Anno Domini.
Ji is a young filmmaker fed up with USC and the L.A. movie scene. He has an impressive collection of short films and a style that challenges the movie mainstream.
Save the date: Trinity Sessions is held every 3rd Friday of the month at Anno Domini!

C5's Quest for Success - Call for Participants
The C5 Quest for Success - Call for Participants
Enter to play the C5 Quest for Success during the ZeroOne San Jose/ISEA 2006 Symposium
August 9-12, 2006
www.c5corp.com
The C5 Quest for Success is an invited project for ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge. The ZeroOne San Jose Festival will transform San Jose into the North American epicenter of art and digital culture from August 7th to the 13th, showcasing the world's most innovative contemporary artists. 01sj.org
Quest for Success is curatorial selection as urban game, testing competitors’ analysis, management, and cooperative decision making skills - traits needed for success in Silicon Valley. The grand prize is a six to twelve week residency at the Montalvo Arts Center co-sponsored with C5 and a Silicon Valley corporate partner - a great opportunity for the right player with the right project pitch. Contestants navigate the streets of San Jose exploring GPS controlled narratives in an attempt to locate the C5 Corporate Limo. Once there, you just might have the opportunity to pitch your proposal to a panel of distinguished experts. A single winner from each evening's competition then advances to the final round on Saturday, August 12th. Three finalists representing TALK, DEMO, PERFORM 'present' their pitch live on-stage to an audience of thousands during the ZeroOne San Jose culminating celebration.
Does the smell of gasoline and oil perk you up like caffeine? Do lat and long coordinates make your heart sing? Then apply for a chance to win the Montalvo Arts Center – C5 artist residency. Six to twelve weeks in picturesque Saratoga, California, working on the project of your dreams with the assistance of one of Silicon Valley’s corporate powerhouses. Does mapping make you giddy? Does your imagination swell listening to stories about entrepreneurial masterminds and nefarious misdeeds? The C5 Quest for Success is your opportunity to be the passionate competitor you know you are.
Apply to participate: www.c5corp.com/projects/quest/. You might be the next big thing coming out of Silicon Valley!
