The ZERO1 Biennial, distributed throughout Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area, is North America's most significant and comprehensive showcase of work at the nexus of art and technology.

Through curated exhibitions, public art installations, performances, and speaker events, the ZERO1 Biennial presents work by a global community of innovative artists who are reshaping contemporary culture.

[1] The 2012 Biennial invited more than 150 artists from over 13 countries to present works at the forefront of media art – collaborating with local, regional, national and international cultural institutions and iconic Silicon Valley companies to showcase three months of exhibitions, events, and performances.

In September 2010 over 47,000 visitors engaged with over 100 artists, designers, engineers, filmmakers, musicians, architects and avant-garde creators from 21 countries, as they proved that art can be more than merely aesthetically pleasing, but rather a tool with which to Build Your Own World.

The 2010 Biennial also included a digital art collector's panel, Still Life with Banquet, the city's first zipline over a man-made marsh, a drive-in theater fashioned out of salvaged cars, and AbsoluteZERO an evening street fair of emerging artists.

The sculpture is 1.8 miles wide and 500 feet high incorporating 25,000 individually programmed LED lights driven by a complex set of algorithms and patterns in a dazzling display across the bridge's west span.
