ZERO1 coordinates international artist exchanges that encourage mutual understanding and cross-border collaboration between creative communities around the globe. Our flagship creative exchange program, American Arts Incubator (AAI), was developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and supports artists working in six countries annually. AAI utilizes community-driven digital and emerging media art projects to instigate dialogue, build communities, bolster local economies, and further social innovation while addressing a relevant social or environmental challenge.

ZERO1 supports the development of creative skills in emerging media and socially engaged arts through talks, workshops, incubators, mentorship, and professional development experiences. We provide access to the skills and tools of creative technology, paired with training in critical framework for examining how the same technologies are adopted by society. We support creative development at all experience levels, from introductory workshops to peer mentorship for established professional artists.

ZERO1 produces community-engaged public art projects at varied scales, from augmented reality street interventions and robotic sculptural installations to digital building modifications and ephemeral sky art. Through artist-led creative collaborations, we connect artists and communities for positive social change through experiences in public space throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
