JCCSF Aquatic Concepts swim school program.

On behalf of the SSC team, I’d like to thank our sponsors and partners for the month of September. We’re fortunate that they choose this site to reach an audience interested in theater and arts, food and wine, gadgets, and destination travel. With over six million people, the San Francisco Bay Area continues to be a world-class region for those interested in reaching an educated, affluent and active demographic.

And although we, like a lot of new media start-ups, continue to operate at a loss, these contributions, however small, at least help us defray our operating expenses as we grow.

In conjunction with those that graciously volunteer as correspondents and contributors–Cy Ashley Webb, Jane Lurie, Mike Carrall, Al Graichen, Patricia Reardon, Chris Wright, Tom Eden–we’re able to continue to bring an independent voice onto the scene, thanks to these contributions.

So thanks again to our wonderful sponsors!

2010 01SJ Biennial (Produced by ZER01: The Art and Technology Network)

Todd Chandler / Jeff Start - Empire Drive-InThe future is not just about what’s next. It’s also about what we can build to ensure that what’s next matters. How can we, as resourceful, innovative, and knowledgeable local and global citizens build and participate in a desirable future in the face of global climate change, economic meltdown, political instability, and cultural divisiveness?

The 2010 01SJ Biennial is predicated on the notion that as artists, designers, engineers, architects, marketers, corporations and citizens we have the tools to (re)build the world, conceptually and actually, virtually and physically, poorly and better, aesthetically and pragmatically, in both large and small ways. 01SJ is about how powerful ideas and innovative individuals from around the world can make a difference and come together to build a unique and distributed city-wide platform for creative solutions and public engagement.

Under the theme “Build Your Own World,” ZER01, in collaboration with dozens of partners, will present over the course of 4 days, from September 16-19, hundreds of artworks, performances, events, and artist talks, which not only imagine the future of the world) but begin to build it.
