The 2012 ZERO1 Biennial theme and the core Biennial exhibition, Seeking Silicon
Valley, was inspired by Silicon Valley’s globally renowned reputation as the hub of hightech
entrepreneurial innovation and networked creativity, as much as from the region’s
conspicuous lack of publicly accessible features including borders, a defining
architecture, a singular culture, and a cohesive sense of place. Biennial artists and the
Biennial’s partnering organizations have been charged with articulating the 2012 theme
Seeking Silicon Valley in all of the showcased performances, exhibitions, events and
panels.
The ZERO1 Biennial, distributed throughout Silicon Valley and the greater San Francisco 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. Established in 2006, the ZERO1 Biennial has presented
the work of more than 500 artists from more than 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.
