Paige and Sam are going to San Jose for the 01’s Festival

Weclome to ToolShed Days Day-to-Day.

In the fall of 2007 Red76, in collaboration with the staff and students of the CADRE Media Laboratory at San Jose State University, began investigating the possibilities of the online collaborative platform Second Life as a means towards engaging radical social histories and contemporary socio-political dilemmas. Surrounding a series of dialogues and public actions – entitled ToolShed Days – three discrete projects were implemented; Second Home, Befriend a Recruiter, and Defense Co-op. For the ZeroOne Festival in San Jose, California Red76 will discuss these projects, and the interests and ideas that grew out of them through a series of formal and informal public initiatives. Walks, lectures, radio broadcasts, impromptu sign-making sessions, mobile photo studios, and more will be some of the means in which the ideas manifest from ToolShed Days will make their way into public space in San Jose. All of the groups activities will be somewhat improvised day-to-day as a means of creating a formulaic conversation with the random interactions that take place between the group and the public at large. Regular schedules of the groups activities can be found by dialing a toll-free hotline number (1-888-339-4496), which will be updated each morning, and at times throughout the day.
