The ZERO1 Biennial, distributed throughout Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area, is North America’s most significant showcase of contemporary work at the nexus of art and technology. Established in 2006, the ZER01 Biennial has presented the work of over 500 artists from 50+ countries, commissioned 80 original works of art, attracted over 100,000 visitors from around the world, and contributed $20 million in economic revenue to the region.

Under the thematic Seeking Silicon Valley the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial proposes that contemporary art practice can re-imagine the idea, the place, and the experience of Silicon Valley. Opening events take place September 12-16, 2012 with exhibitions, public art, and programs extending through mid-December. Using Silicon Valley as a physical and virtual backdrop, the exhibitions, public art, performances, events, and installations that are part of the ZERO1 Biennial will transform a region synonymous with technology into a publicly accessible network of activity, exploration, and provocation. The list of selected artists will be announced in late Spring 2012. For more information, visit www.zero1biennial.org.
