We wanted to share with people, in as clear and transparent a format as possible, our approach to developing exhibitions. In particular, we want exhibition collaborators--artists, researchers, historians, collectors--to understand our goals and how we intend to steer the exhibition development process.

With that in mind, Zero1's community engagement manager Danielle Siembieda-Gribben organized HackFlux : a weekend hackathon bringing together a mix of coders, developers, designers, artists, and thinkers this past June. Siembieda-Gribben structured the hackathon to maximize learning and shared knowledge.

Over three days, 52 artist teams erected experimental projects along San Francisco''s biggest thoroughfare. The result was a true experiment in designing the future--right here, right now--with artists and planners and civic leaders at the helm together. Thousands more conversations during the festival. The arts ARE future-making.

When I attended, the theme was “Inkery”, so besides getting access to all the standard interactive exhibits, I was also able to get a caricature drawn, get ‘inked’ at a squid dissection, get a henna tattoo, decorate a sugar cookie with natural food dyes, and enjoy light snacks and drinks – all while a DJ mixed top tracks over the sound system.
