Calling all developers, artists, designers, story tellers and those who

for the first in a series of HackFlux at TheGlint.

ABOUT THE ZERO1 APP LAB:The objective is to create a seamless visitor
experience through mobile technology for the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial. Our
goal is to create a collaborative social science experiment exploring
how an app can create community, interaction, and navigation in a clear
and interesting format. We plan to utilize a variety of techniques and
practitioners that will include, but is not limited to: alternate
reality, geo location and mapping, mobile technology, storytelling, and
augmented reality. Secondly, we plan to develop a ZERO1 API that can be
built upon and used by ZERO1 artists, fellows and used for future ZERO1
Marketing, Programming and Garage.

AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND:We will build a community around mobile
development and art and to have an app for the 2012 ZERO1 Biennial.
AFTER THE WEEKEND:The winning team will be able to work with ZERO1's
core team of mobile development interns and our Tech Advisory Committee
to develop the app further through the summer. We hope to have a series
of testing events around the app.
