Join in the fun with Silicon Valley Fashions Night at the Museum for the AbsoluteZERO Street Festival

September 17, Friday 5pm-12 midnight

AbsoluteZER0 is a vibrant street festival as part of the 2010 01SJ Biennial where the public can engage with art, music, science, and technology in new and compelling ways outside on city streets. AbsoluteZER0 celebrates the creativity and technological virtuosity that are the hallmarks of Silicon Valley and will offer an exciting lineup of art projects, performance, music, and hands-on family activities by over 100 artists.

Come wearing fashions you made using fusionwear sv fabrics.

There are three ways to get dressed Silicon Valley Style:

• Make your own clothes using fusionwear sv fabrics (see details on these fabrics below)
• Bring a plain t-shirt and add some Silicon Valley style on the spot at AbsoluteZERO in our Digital Textile Lab
• Order shoes or other items with fusionwear sv designs from www.zazzle.com

With your help, the fusionwear sv project/experiment resulted in some wonderful textile designs created from and about images of Silicon Valley.
