Gray Area Foundation For The Arts (GAFFTA) Stage | Minna Street & 5th Street Tunnel

In addition to 3 SF debut live performances, in the spirit of collaboration and raising awareness of the city around us, GAFFTA has invited resident DJ’s from 8 of San Francisco’s most essential electronic crews to collaborate with our community of code based visual artists and represent the vibrancy of the Bay Area electronic music community.

From noon to 4PM we welcome the eclectic house tones of House-Heads resident The Ride and the after hours techno of local producer C.L.A.W.S, whose O.K Hole evenings regularly host the best live dance performers from near and far. Loric of local dark electronic group Water Borders regularly spins the best future bass and hard techno at Future:Perfect and Body/Current, while DJ Tristes Tropiques represents all things acid at both Haceteria and with his own live acid house duo Bruse. Visual accompaniment will be provided by Bay Area code artists Cullen Miller and Odbol, whose responsive live performance environments will expand and permutate the tunnel space in real time.

At 4PM, our first live performance welcomes New York resident Aaron David Ross in special one-off collaboration with local visual code artist Andrew Benson. Aaron David is well known for his high concept work with both Gatekeeper and the digital native boy band HD Boyz, and Andrew’s pixel manipulation has been exhibited everywhere from esteemed Gallery and University environments to M.I.A’s live stage at Coachella.

At 4:30 PM we are thrilled to welcome tireless local producer, DJ and promoter DJ Dials from Lights Down Low to bring his distinct combination of future bass and downtempo to the tunnel.

At 5PM we are honored to welcome abstract electronic dance luminary Mark Fell, whose San Francisco debut follows over a decade of remarkable audio visual releases and live performances under the names SND and Sensate Focus that radically deconstruct house music while incorporating themes of euclidian rhythm and neuro-cognition – check out the BBC coverage of his nano-particular compositions here.

At 6PM we are excited to welcome Oakland native Afrikan Sciences to present his own futuristic musical vision, equally inspired by afrobeat, classic techno and beat-hybridized hip hop, that Resident Advisor recently championed as “sublime” and “utterly memorable”. His debut live collaboration with local visual code heavyweight Ryan Alexander promises to be expand minds as the sun sets.

7PM welcome ascendent Bay Area producer and Icee Hot label and party co-founder Ghosts on Tape to the tunnel, whose turbo-tropical bass sounds have been a fixture of SF night life, and promise to interplay gorgeously with the visual code of artist Gabriel Dunne.

8PM sees producer and original As You Like It Resident Mossmoss takes us deep into the evening with his Detroit and Chicago influenced textural techno.

9PM and the closing set of the evening goes to Honey Soundsystem founder and long time friend of GAFFTA P-Play, whose internationally acclaimed “sound system for lovers” will provide the perfect harmonious ending to a day full of new ideas, new friends and new possibilities.

Moderator: Laura Crescimano (Site Lab Urban Studio)
Panel Guests: Sanjit Sethi (CCA Center for Art and Public Life), JD Beltran (SF Arts Commission), Joseph Del Pesco (Kadist Foundation), Scott Doorley (Stanford Design School)
Art is a powerful tool for social change that can uncover and amplify new possibilities for public space in real time. This panel will explore the role artists can play in placemaking and community building, calling upon examples of recent work from celebrated local artists and urban interventionists.

5PM-6PM Design Thinking in Cities
Moderator: Scott Paterson (IDEO)
Panel Guests: Shane Myrbeck (Arup), Scott Witthoft (Stanford Design School), Mona El Khafif (CCA), Ben Cerveny (Bloom.io)
Designing and prototyping for the public realm carries a unique set of constraints, opportunities, and inspirations along with it. The design thinking methodology has the potential to inform how we see, feel, and experience our cities, as well as shaping traditional planning and procurement processes. This panel will explore how a human-centered approach can result in a more livable and enjoyable urban fabric through design.

6PM-7PM Formalizing Experimentation: From Prototype to Infrastructure
Moderator: Liz Obgu (IDEO)
Panel Guests: Ben Grant (SPUR), Matt Passmore (Rebar), David Alumbaugh (San Francisco Planning Department),Christopher Guillard (Conger Moss Guillard)
With Park(ing) Day inspiring the formal permitting of parklets throughout the city, San Francisco has established itself as a leader in formalizing projects in the public realm which began as citizen-driven experiments. This process is now being considered for an entirely new suite of projects to reshape the public realm, with this festival playing a key role. This panel will explore how informal design projects can pave the way for more lasting changes, how this model compares with more traditional design processes, and how Urban Prototyping can help shape this movement in the Bay Area and beyond.

7PM-8PM Urban Insights: Learning about Cities from Data & Citizen Sensors
Moderator: Peter Hirshberg (GAFFTA/ReImagine Group)
Panel Guests: Sha Hwang (Trulia), Michal Migurski (Stamen Design),Shannon Spanhake (City of San Francisco), Genevieve Hoffman (NYU:Tisch)
Collection and visualization of urban data have quickly become powerful tools for municipal governance. Citizens now have the capacity to act as sensors, data analysts, information designers, or all of the above to help cities better understand themselves. This panel will focus on the evolving role of open data and its applications to the public sector.
