Twelve Bay Area visual artists will receive a Eureka Fellowship, the largest cash prize for individual artists in the Bay Area, sponsored by the Fleishhacker Foundation. This round’s Fellowship recipients includes San Jose artist Binh Dahn, who co-runs Space 47 - an independent project space that aims to foster new ideas and experience, support artistic change and development, and inspire a larger community of cultural entrepreneurs.

World-renowned Australian artist Craig Walsh, who will create the third San Jose City Hall Rotunda lighting project for ZERO1, has recently won the People's Choice Award for his project at the Nuit Blanche Toronto event.

Interested in hybrid / site-specific projects and the exploration of alternative contexts for contemporary art, Walsh often utilizes projection in response to existing environments. He works across a range of art forms including theater, architecture, public works, gallery exhibitions, and festivals.

His work has been selected for major survey exhibitions, commissions, and residencies both nationally and internationally, including: the Yokohama International Triennale of Contemporary Art, Japan, Fuji Rock Festival, Japan, Under the radar, Liverpool, England, The National Sculpture Prize & Exhibition, National Gallery of Australia, Havana Biennale, Cuba,

Spectropia is a cinema-scale interactive film/performance event, a scratchable movie performed by video DJs as improvising performers who are playing a movie instrument. This sci-fi hybrid features time travel, telepathy, and elements of film noir. The audience will be able to see through a character's eyes, hear their interior thoughts, and even talk with the characters. Spectropia is a time travel drama that uses the metaphor of supernatural possession to investigate identity.

Projected on multiple screens and performed as an interactive experience with the participation of audience members, Spectropia will be a fabulous addition to the festival. To find out more about Spectropia and its creator, Toni Dove, visit tonidove.com.
