2010 01SJ Biennial Overview
The 01SJ Biennial is a multidisciplinary, international contemporary art festival that focuses on the intersection between art, technology and digital culture. The 3rd 01SJ Biennial will take place September 16--19, 2010 in venues throughout downtown San Jose, CA.
Build Your Own World
The theme of the 3rd 01SJ Biennial, "Build Your Own World," is predicated on the notion that as artists, designers, engineers, architects, corporations and citizens we have the tools to (re)build the world---in both large and small ways. It is about how powerful ideas and innovative individuals from around the world can make a difference and come together to build a unique, citywide platform for creative solutions and public engagement. It is about the inspiration needed to build a world we want to live in and are able to live with.
