The (e)MERGE* street festival will feature a selection of artists from California university programs emphasizing the work of collaborative research groups in the spirit of collective creativity that is characteristic of the digital and new media arts. The second component of (e)MERGE* is a juried selection of emerging California artists from both in and out of the academic sphere, whose innovative and experimental works engage with a range of radical new technologies available to artists, while engaging in re-imagining place and community in connection with the larger 2012 ZERO1 Biennial theme Seeking Silicon Valley.
