Description:

Over the second week of August, all of downtown San Jose -- self-proclaimed capital of California's Silicon Valley – was transformed into an exhibition venue for electronic and new media art. Each evening for the duration of the festival, the city turned off the streetlights and turned on the mist nozzles, while Hasegawa used 15 data projectors of 10,000 lumens each to light up the area with gradually changing abstract images of his own creation. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people filled the plaza in front of the dome, traffic slowed in wonderment, and the city center came alive. Indeed, the night after the festival had finished, hopeful crowds were still gathering in the plaza.
