Come to the ISEA/ZeroOne electronic art festival in San Jose next week! The festival features The C4F3, a cafe of augmented objects at the San Jose Museum of Art for which I'm a primary curatorial lead (aka "co-chair" in juried festival speak). If you've wondered where a significant chunk of my last two years has gone, this is it. There's a (partial) list of artworks that are going to be in the C4F3.
There are all kinds of shows (from SRL to Bill Viola to Peter Greenaway working as a VJ and remixing his own films in realtime) and great art pieces. etoy is installing their latest shipping container experience in front of the museum as I type this.

The San Jose Mercury News has a Good section on navigating the festival as part of their extensive coverage of the festival as a whole.
The C4F3 is designed by my good friends at Syneo in Milan.
