Out of the Garage, Into the World September 16, 2010

Thu-Sun, September 16th - 19th, 11am - 7pm

ZER01 is inviting independent artists, designers, architects, engineers, programmers, and corporate and academic research programs to publicly work in San Jose's 80,000 square foot "South Hall" to create projects for exhibition, performance, provocation, and interaction. This innovative platform will build on the dynamic histories of garage hacking and citizen science to imagine not just what's next but to ensure that what's next matters.

Out of the Garage, Into the World uses Build Your Own World as its overarching theme, and its methodology is rooted in the ethos of creating and inventing for the common good. Out of the Garage, Into the World acknowledges the blurred boundaries between garage hacking and citizen science and invites a range of such DIY laboratories and re-purposed spaces to perform in the public sphere, where the general public can observe and even participate in the process. The intent of Out of the Garage, Into the World is for artists to create projects that have a positive impact on their neighborhoods and communities, however they define them.

The general public can view, explore, and interact with the results of the projects and workshops at South Hall during the 01SJ Biennial from September 16-19.

This event is a part of the 2010 01SJ Biennial: http://01sj.org/
