Steve Dietz is director of both the Inter-Society for Electronic Arts (ISEA) 2006 Symposium and ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge, the largest and most significant gathering of the digital arts in North America – ever. This new biennial, to be held in August 2006, will present more than 200 artist projects, 10 exhibitions, additional programming by more than 40 collaborating Bay Area/Silicon Valley institutions, and 5 days of talks, panels, and debates. Dietz's lecture will introduce the ZeroOne San Jose events and make the case for the importance of an ongoing festival devoted to "the art formerly known as new media." Dietz is the former curator of new media at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, where he founded the New Media Initiatives department in 1996.

This lecture has been made possible in part by funding from the Getty Foundation.
