Skittish Capitalists As part of his comments on the state of downtown San Jose, Michael Malone bemoans “endless regulations, taxes and fees” and “social engineering boondoggle[s]” as standing in the

way of entrepreneurship in the city (“Dreams of Instant City,” Cover Story, Sept. 5).

This is the usual knee-jerk list of right-wing grievances that have no bearing on reality. I worked for a small tech start-up in New Jersey and not once did any of these issues ever come up in any conversation we had. Start-ups care about funding first and everything else is a distant second. Municipalities bend over backward to support tech start-ups, and I’m sure San Jose is no different in this regard. The blame lies with skittish venture capitalists, but saying that would get in the way of good old-fashioned government bashing.

MARK DENNING | SAN JOSE

Scavengers

Dead Wrong

Sorry, I like Michael Malone, but I don’t buy anything he says. He is an obsolete icon that forgot to become extinct with the rest of the Silicon Valley mythos. San Jose is not a city; it is a collection of addresses.

Turning loose the corporate sociopaths/shysters to “create” their “visions” if only the downtown boys would lay off and just let them go is vintage ’80s boosterism.

San Jose has no higher purpose of great civic meaning. It is a place to scavenge financial crumbs with endless renditions of the newest restaurant opening downtown.

Mr. Malone has hung around the “entrepreneurs” so long he thinks this thoughts are state-of-the-art

[Malone] is dead wrong about downtown San Jose. I’m not sure he spent more than 15 minutes here in his life. It’s about 1,000,000 better than it was in the 1980s—which is not to say it doesn’t have a long ways to go. If my memory serves, he opposed just about every big project—including moving the Giants to San Jose.

Painful Truth Sometimes the truth hurts. I think San Jose leaders realize they’re money motivated, not big-picture motivated.

THE FLY

Waite for It The 2014 mayoral race in San Jose is still two years away and already people seem bored by the potential candidates: Councilmembers SAM LICCARDO and MADISON NGUYEN, and county Supervisor Dave Cortese. Rumors of a future Mayorluigi—a.k.a. Willow Glen Councilmember PIERLUIGI OLIVERIO— surfaced last month and everyone choked on their cannolis. Now we bring you the next potential “right” man for the job. Well, maybe not the right man, but PAT WAITE is a Republican. The 54-year-old former VP of finance for Seagate, who lost a close race to Evergreen Councilmember ROSE HERRERA in 2008, says local business and community leaders have been approaching him in recent months to take on The Expectables. Even this last spring, Waite says, the South Bay Labor Council talked to him about again challenging Herrera in the primary. (Take a second and consider that: The SBLC actually approached a Republican to run with its support. CINDY CHAVEZ must be rolling over in her grave.) His high-tech business background and lack of local government experience— aside from serving as Don’t a commissioner on a forget monitoring commission to tip! for the Santa Clara Valley Water District—could be FLY@ a plus in the eyes of some METRONEWS. voters. Waite could also COM provide a clean slate with public employees, many of whom, he says, have been unfairly “vilified” in recent years. While Republicans have generally been out of step with Bay Area voters on social issues, Waite, a Catholic, says he is more of a libertarian on hot topics like gay marriage and abortion.

“I really don’t give a hoot what they do with their own lives as long as it’s not affecting my life,” he says, adding that when it comes to abortion he’s “not planning on having one” any time soon. “I don’t need to be butting my nose in people’s private lives, and I don’t think government should either,” Waite says. That comes in slight contrast to San Jose’s current mayor, Democrat CHUCK REED, who has opposed gay marriage when pressed. But according to Waite, that could be because Reed’s party affiliation is more “pragmatic” than precise.

I felt excluded. It was like being told that I had never existed.”

Barriere, 22, first came to the United States from El Salvador at the age of 3. She went back for about a year, when she was 9, and then came back to the United States for good in October 2000, when she was 10 years old. She’s been living with her mother, stepfather and two younger siblings in Richmond for the past 12 years,

unaware she was an illegal immigrant.

Like other young people who were brought to the United States as children, Barriere is technically barred from working, driving or going to school, even though her younger siblings, ages 11 and 15, and both U.S.born, are granted all these rights.

“I found it so weird that my siblings existed and were defined by nine numbers, and I wasn’t,” she says.

Barriere qualifies for President Barack Obama’s “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program, a policy enacted in June that allows illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children to obtain a work permit, a valid Social Security number and a contingent promise of deferred action with regard to deportation. DACA does not provide a path to lawful permanent resident status, U.S. citizenship or legal immigration status.

Barriere attends the City College of San Francisco (CCSF), where she

studies International Development.

Unlike most colleges, CCSF does not require its students to provide a social security number in order to register for classes, but Barriere still hopes to transfer to UC-Berkeley.

An advocate for undocumented students in several capacities, Barriere serves as the steering representative of the Bay Area branch of the California DREAM Network. She also serves as a volunteer for VIDA, a resource center that raises awareness among the CCSF community about the struggles and needs of undocumented students.

Networks like VIDA have been hosting workshops for the past few months to provide undocumented students with information about the deferred action policy.

The government began accepting DACA requests on Aug. 15. As many as 1.7 million immigrants, 30 years old and younger who have lived continuously in the United States for five years, could benefit from the program, according to Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. The largest number of potential applicants— 460,000—is in California.

Like many others who are eligible, Barriere is in the process of working on her application. The application requires proof of continuous

TECHNOLOGY & CULTURE IN SILICON VALLEY

BY DAN HOLDEN & ROD BASTANMEHR updated daily: www.sv411.com twitter: 5sv411 facebook: siliconvalley411 The complaint alleged that the executives had access to “sensitive design, development, and strategic information” about EA games before leaving to join Zynga.—DH

App Publisher Takes Responsibility for Apple ID Hack Who really stole nearly 1 million Apple device IDs last week? No one can be certain just yet, but we now know where the IDs were originally stored.

The CEO of Blue Toad Publishing said on Sept. 10 that he was “100 percent confident” the IDs came from the app developer’s database.

The only remaining question is how that data got out.

In a statement posted on his blog on Monday of this week, Blue Toad CEO Paul DeHart said that an analyst from his company compared the released 40-character Unique Device IDs (UDISs) data against the company database and found a 98 percent correlation.

“That’s 100 percent confidence level it’s our data,” DeHart later explained to NBC.

“As soon as we found out we were involved and victimized,” DeHart said, “we approached the appropriate law enforcement officials, and we began to take steps to come forward, clear the record and take responsibility for this.”

DeHart did not, however, say how the data was compromised or by whom, leaving open the possibility that the FBI did in fact obtain it.

Last week, it was reported that the hacker group Anonymous took the data from the FBI. Later, another hacker group, AntiSec, said that it was responsible, having compromised more than 12 million Apple UDIDs from an FBI staffer’s laptop. Sources at the FBI denied that it ever had the data.

DeHart said the company does not collect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, which would need to be paired with the UDIDs to make any sort of a viable threat to consumer security.

“BlueToad believes the risk that the stolen data can be used to harm app users is very low,” said DeHart.

“But that certainly doesn’t lessen our resolve to ensure that all data is protected and kept from those who seek to illegally obtain it.

“We will continue to monitor this situation and cooperate with law enforcement in the investigation of the parties responsible for this crime.”—DH

Zynga Inc., he high-flying maker of interactive games for Facebook is experiencing an executive exodus as share price erosion steals equity from employees.

The latest resignation, according to a Bloomberg report, is Jeff Karp, chief marketing and revenue officer.

Karp’s departure was disclosed in a regulatory filing yesterday. At least seven other managers have left since a second-quarter earnings report in August missed analysts’ expectations, indicating sales may be slowing further.

Overall, Zynga’s stock has declined 72 percent since the company’s December 2011 initial public offering, which has also taken significant value from equity used to compensate staff. Zynga shares are now trading at $2.77.

Karp will remain employed in a nonofficer capacity while employees in his group are reassigned appropriately elsewhere in the company, said a spokeswoman.

Karp and John Schappert, both former Electronic Arts executives, and both of whom have now left the company, were named in a lawsuit EA filed against Zynga in August claiming copyright infringement.

Big things are happening for big-data management start-up Aerospike of Mountain View this week, including a new round of funding, an acquisition, a new product launch and some big-name associations.

Aerospike, which recently rebranded from Citrusleaf, specializes in delivering NoSQL (commonly referred to as “not only SQL”) storage and data management for very large-scale environments such as social media sites, where the emphasis is on moving huge amounts of video and data as quickly as possible—as opposed to creating large, sophisticated relational databases.

TheNextWeb reports that AeroSpike received an undisclosed amount of Series B funding comes courtesy of New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and joined by Draper Associates and Alsop Louie Partners, all top names in venture capital.

Rohini Chakravarthy, an NEA partner, will join Aerospike’s board of directors as part of the deal. Current board members include Stuart Alsop and Joe Addiego.

IBM Fellow Don Haderle has also joined the company as an advisor.

Haderle is widely recognized for his accomplishments as chief technology officer of IBM’s database management division.

The company also acquired Alchemy Database (AlchemyDB), a smaller start-up that optimizes large databases for memory efficiency.

Finally, Aerospike has launched a free community edition for use by developers, who then move to the Enterprise Edition product when their sites roll out.—DH

Just one outpost of many making up the CADRE Laboratory for New Media, the room lures me in so I can observe a few dozen folks working on the LiteWall, a.k.a. the Great Temporary Wall of Silicon Valley, a collaborative project by CADRE students and alumni, to be installed for the ZERO1 Biennial this weekend. (See cover story

on page 16 for more on the Biennial.)

For about 25 years now, CADRE has attracted academic outcasts and intellectual refugees from just about every other department, whose creative talents prevent them from functioning within specific disciplines. These are people who operate on the routes between the academic subjects.

During the 1990s, for example, seemingly everything went down in these rooms: computer animation classes, research in data mapping, landscape painting as countersurveillance, experimental video, telepresence or interactive Palm Pilot projects, back when those devices were brand new.

You’d see undergrads sleeping in the labs, while SGI machines rendered their animations all night long, right alongside visiting European grad

students drinking and discussing the art of war in the age of intelligent machines. CADRE was place for any technologically inclined creative type who didn’t fit in anywhere else.

Nowadays, the numbers have dwindled, but the academic outlaw spirit still remains. As I walk in, the aroma of burning solder fills the room.

Pieces of old projects and fabricated installations sit piled up in one corner.

Slick 24-inch Macintosh monitors and their respective keyboards occupy tables against each wall.

Behind one glass case, almost museumlike, I see several PC power supplies. Flyers from old student exhibitions and projects hang everywhere. On a whiteboard, instructional scribbles from dry-erase markers explain pixel dimensions, audio sampling rates and how to convert floats to integers in C. On a side door, I see a faded sticker for DoWhatDo, a gargantuan performance/spectacle that Joel Slayton staged on the roof of the San Pedro Street Garage exactly 20 years ago.

As I observe, a few dozen students and alumni are here working on the

LiteWall for the ZERO1 Biennial. That is, each person is constructing his or her own 7-inch-square LED cube, which will fit into a giant grid. Each box is made of Russian birch wood; the sides fit together in dovetail joints; and inside each cube, once completed, there are an LED board and a driver board to monitor the current that operates the LED dimming, brightness and color.

Everything is controlled via Ethernet, through a CAT-5 connector that gets wired to the circuit. The participants are given the prefab circuit boards, but they have to solder everything, glue the cubes and assemble the electronic parts themselves. Each cube functions as a giant “pixel” in the final construction of the wall, with each box emitting LEDs whose colors are changeable via Ethernet.

Philips Electronics donated the LEDs, while students came up with the design and the Arduino programming to make the whole thing work. In this way, the whole wall is a giant record of all those who collaborated to build it, a celebration of do-it-yourself culture and a closing of the gap between unknown electronics makers and the consumers who use their products.

In addition, everyone who contributes one of the box/pixels also stamps an electronic message that goes along with it. Via a website, he or she answers questions related to the Biennial theme, “Seeking Silicon Valley.” During the final installation and viewing, any contributor’s pixel can be called up from a controller workstation and everyone will then see the answers each person gave to the questions, in lights, crawling across the entire wall.

Thus, each pixel corresponds to a specific contributor, in a self-referencing fashion. And since each participant seeks Silicon Valley in a different manner, a variety of interpretations are there for all to see.

The following night finds me at TechShop, where a repeat workshop unfolds. Even more students and alumni are participating. Some are making multiple boxes. The final wall will be displayed during the (e)MERGE Street Festival, Friday, 6pm-midnight, in the SoFA District.

In the decades since, San Jose has proclaimed itself the Capital of Silicon Valley. It doesn’t help, however, that the San Francisco Chronicle is busy running articles abrogating the “capital” idea; just this Sunday, it started a opinionsection essay with the loaded question: “Is the Bay Area’s innovative center of gravity shifting

away from suburban Silicon Valley to urban San Francisco?”

Jaime Austin, the lead curator for the ZERO1 Biennial, which begins Wednesday, Sept. 12, recalls a telling anecdote about how the festival’s theme—“Seeking Silicon Valley”—arose.

Picking up an out-of-town guest at the airport, Austin asked, “What do you want to do?” The reply was disarmingly simple, yet confounding: “I want to see Silicon Valley.”

Austin took her visitor on a drive-by tour of the eBay sign, the Googleplex and the tech headquarters on Sandhill Road. The result, she says, “was one of excitement and disappointment.” Landmarks can’t define a fluid, shifting identity.

Austin believes that “Seeking Silicon Valley” avoids the geographical trap by “evoking a process, an active state that is more important than what is found.” The Biennial’s participants, coming from more than 13 countries, have been tasked with the idea of putting art to work in order to capture the slippery heart of high tech.

Although centered in San Jose’s SoFA District, ZERO1 extends its web to San Francisco and the East Bay, running for three months, with tech-driven shows, performances, lectures and public art. We have selected 10 that deserve special attention, while Gary Singh examines ZERO1’s own version of garage culture. (Full Disclosure: Metro is a media sponsor of ZERO1.) ÆD`Z_X\c J% >Xek

Located in the former Earl Scheib auto body shop on South First Street, the building is still an actual garage—that’s not a metaphor— but all structural work has been completed, the building is legal and the space will house the main Biennial exhibition, the visitors’ center, a lounge and eventually the main offices of ZERO1.

In one sense, the space calls attention to the role garages have played in Silicon Valley history, while at the same time anticipating the future of right-brain, left-brain collaboration.

Inside the Garage, 24 artists representing 11 different countries will participate in the main exhibition during the Biennial.

Thanks to San Francisco–based architect Chris Haas, the exhibition space will eschew traditional cubiclestyle partitions of solid white. Right angles were not even considered.

Instead, the backdrops are made of fluid, translucent polypropylene material suspended from the beams above, curving through the space

like a fishnet and allowing each visitor to see all of the artworks at the same time.

Dialogue and interaction will take priority. One doesn’t have to walk through a maze of cordoned-off, boxlike areas to see the entire show.

Everything is open and transparent.

The curved hanging walls flow through the space like a smooth, graceful stream, a natural antithesis to the rectangular structure.

Instead of cubicles that isolate each section of an exhibit, one sees unexpected nooks and folds, broad vistas and revealing sight lines to the other works of art in the show.

In that regard, the exhibit design exemplifies the Biennial’s theme of “Seeking Silicon Valley” just as the art itself does.

“This is a nonclassical display,” says Haas. “We don’t want this to be a white-walled gallery space. You want it to be breathing and active. The whole space floats.”

After the Biennial concludes, the ZERO1 Garage will function as an interdisciplinary think tank of sorts.

There will be studio spaces for artist/ industry collaborations, lectures, meetings and other activities.

For example, two specific artist fellowships—one sponsored by Google and the other by Adobe— will eventually use the space. All in all, explains ZERO1 executive director Joel Slayton, the aim is to explore how radical artistic experimentation can help reimagine Silicon Valley and even help businesses innovate.

For its ZERO1 performance, San Jose Taiko turns its annual fall show into a collaborative project called “Taiko+Technology.” Working with ZERO1 curator Jaime Austin; Michael Fienen of the USGS, who specializes in the “sonification” of earthquake data; the artists’ collective AnticlockwiseArts, which fiddles with Kinects to produce visual effects; and the South Bay’s Tim Thompson, a noted artistcum-hacker, who also explores the possibilities of the Kinect motion sensor technology, Taiko aims to dissolve the presumed differences between an art with ancient roots and the latest innovations in digital presentation.

According to artistic director Franco Imperial, audiences can expect to see San Jose Taiko “using technology as a platform for inspiration,” with an emphasis on “use of projection to visualize how taiko is being interpreted on a digital canvas.” During the intermission, “the audience will be able to participate in interactive texting ... and vote to select the first song for the second half of the program.”

The troupe has often experimented with intriguing partners for genre-trashing (or at least redefining) shows, most notably their memorable meeting of minds and meets with the Bangerz hip-hop crew at the SubZERO Festival in 2010. People are still talking about that show, which bodes well for this latest joint effort.

Sep. 21 at 8pm, Sep. 22 at 2 and 8pm; School of Arts & Culture at the Mexican Heritage Plaza, San Jose. Tickets are $20–$30.

2. A Hidden Space Revealed

Generally, the pleasant courtyard attached to the California Theatre, with benches and trees, is cordoned off with a wall of metal lattice work. For ZERO1, the Bay Area design team of Nataly Gattegno and Jason Kelly Johnson, a.k.a. Future Cities Lab, is converting the off-limits space into a public environment: Datagrove. A strange, alien contraption fashioned from shiny rods bent in a wave form serves as a superstructure for some orblike data transmitters. When fully functional, the device, fashioned by “luminescent fibers,” will produce subtle sound textures geared to the ebb and flow of curiosity seekers.

Runs Sep. 12–Dec. 8; California Theatre, San Jose.

3. Re-introducing Gore Park

The ongoing construction project in the triangular, pocket-sized Gore Park (or Parque de los Pobladores) has been something of a nuisance for visitors and employees along the affected block of South First Street between William and Reed streets (including Metro staff ). Eventually, the expanded park will be a permanent public venue, but visitors to ZERO1 can get an advance feel for this urban pie-wedge space when artists Marcella del Signore and Mona El Khafif fill the park with bright pink, oddly angled outdoor furniture for sitting and sprawling. Dubbed the iLounge, the installation uses cameras, infrared projectors and computer screens to encourage impromptu coalescing of the people who wander through the park.

Sep. 13–16; Gore Park, San Jose

4. Metro Is Part of the Action While lounging in Gore Park (see Reason #3), be sure to stop by Metro, where artist Pierce Warnecke has contributed a video work in the foyer called Used News. Visitors can play with printed copies of the paper using a microscope camera to create super-closeup collages of stories past. The results will be converted into a ceiling projection using stop-motion-animation software. It promises to be better (and certainly quicker) than an old-fashioned clipping file.

5. A New Work by Lynn Hershman Leeson

Long before Twitter feeds become fodder for art pieces, Bay Area artist Lynn Hershman Leeson was busy creating edgy sitebased installations (her Dante Hotel so uncannily reproduced a murder that police thought it was a real crime scene), userinteraction videodiscs and robot sculptures. More recently, she turned to filmmaking with Conceiving Ada, in which Tilda Swinton plays the early female computer creator. For ZERO1, she contributes Present Tense, a small, eerie row of three small glass beakers filled with water. The surfaces serve as screens for projections of swimming babies. The catch is that the image changes to reflect the growing toxic pollution of the world’s water sources.

Sep. 12–Dec. 8; ZERO1 Garage, San Jose.

6. Mark Hansen Is Back

Six years ago, the San Jose Museum of Art devoted an entire room to Mark Hansen’s and Ben Rubin’s astonishing Listening Post. A hanging scrim of miniature display screens was connected to computers that searched chat rooms and bulletin boards. Based on the artists’ algorithms, the computers would grab snippets of text from the web and project them in rolling waves of green text set to a minimalist soundtrack by Rubin. As Metro observed at the time: “In this flux of glowing type and intonation, the basic units—letters and words—of net traffic are turned into a kind of found poetry.”

Hansen is back—now collaborating with artist/geneticist Jer Thorp—with Before Us Is the Salesman’s House, designed to be projected on a massive scale across the entry facade of eBay’s north campus. This time, the source for the display is the densely woven fabric of eBay transactions. Hypothetically, the ebb and flow of goods will reveal some deeper truths about society. We are, after all, what we buy and sell—and the piece seeks to make the Invisible Hand of the market visible, at least in flashes. While I have misgivings about corporate-sanctioned art works and the fine line between cooperation and co-optation, Hansen’s track record is so strong that this is one of the ZERO1 works I am most looking forward to seeing. The piece will also be shown outside on the parking-lot-facing wall of 300 S. First St., as part of the opening weekend events.

7. New Uses for Old Media

Immersive is an overused word for art installations, but Spanish artist Daniel Canogar’s The Film Trilogy truly bathes the viewer in a mesmerizing sensory wash. The Trilogy, showing at Montalvo Arts Center as a peripheral part of ZERO1, uses some of the physical manifestations of the movies to evoke the history of the medium. In Flicker, long, slender threads of 35mm film zigzag from the floor to the ceiling; a projector casts images drawn from the silent era up and down the sprocketed strips in rapid patterns that sometimes resemble illuminated rainfall, sometimes solid bands of intense white coming and going like lightning streaks. The countdown on film leaders flashes stroboscopically on the wall behind the strips set to an electronic score.

For Tracks, Canoger laced VHS tape in a complex pattern across which a film is projected. The videotape doesn’t show frames, as the 35mm film does, so the images (they are from Joe Dante’s Innerspace) play out as dots and dashes of pure color speeding up, down and across the tape grid. At various interstices between tape and walls, the colors fan out into lozenges of reflected light.

Spin uses 100 or so DVDs scattered across a dark backdrop as reflective surfaces (maybe like the faceted eye of a giant insect) on which to project a collage of movie scenes that are bounced onto the opposite wall as oddly distorted amoeba-like shapes on which tantalizingly familiar moments from popular features, complete with snatched dialogue, dance and twirl. As you move between the two walls, your own shadow becomes part of the action.

For the purposes of the ZERO1 theme, “Seeking Silicon Valley,” the clips Canogar assembled are from movies about this region or by directors and actors from here, but the Trilogy stresses the collective dreaming state that a century-plus of movies— flickering or pixelated—has induced in the universal audience.

Runs through Oct. 14, with an artist’s talk on Oct. 12, 6:30pm; Montalvo Arts Center, Saratoga.

them, they all say, ‘Yeah, that makes sense.’ At this moment in time, in this part of the world, that’s the purpose of the ZERO1 Garage, but we need to show them the return on their investment.”

8. We’re All Toast in the End As Lee asks his brother, Austin, in Sam Shepard’s True West about his collection of stolen household appliances: “What’re you gonna do with all those toasters?” The Toaster Project is British artist Thomas Thwaites’ response of sorts to Shepard’s kitchen-sink existentialism.

In a kind of perverse DIYism, Thwaites attempted to assemble a working toaster entirely by hand using only materials he could scavenge from abandoned mines and other middens of the Industrial Revolution in the United Kingdom. The result looks like an accident in a smelting plant. The process (documented in a book and website) says a lot about our dependence on large-scale industrial infrastructure and techniques for the simplest domestic pleasures—and the two-slotter itself manages to look like a lost artifact of the Bay Area funk art movement.

Sep. 12–Dec. 8; ZERO1 Garage, San Jose

9.Yet More Street Festivals

An active downtown can’t have enough street fairs. ZERO1 adds to the mix with the (e)MERGE Street Festival, a two-day affair, with more than two score public art projects by creative teams from California universities (including Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics and SJSU’s CADRE program), outdoor performances, music, movies projected on the walls of buildings and a parking lot turned into a “silent disco,” with dancing done to headsets. Among the more intriguing entries is Three Bodies, which uses dancers in LED-studded costumes to create diagrams of pure light that solve the threebody problem posed by Pythagoras.

Along with William Gibson and our own Rudy Rucker, Bruce Sterling is a stalwart of cyberpunk lit. His major works include Involution Ocean, Islands in the Net and The Difference Engine (cowritten with Gibson). In the real world, so to speak, Sterling has championed an initiative to yoke high tech to environmentally sound design. He is the perfect choice to deliver the keynote address at a panel discussion with the curators of ZERO1.

The wine bar is a joint venture among Jim Foley and Joe and

Joey McCarthy. All three work at McCarthy Land Company, a Los Gatos–based real estate development company.

The McCarthy family produces its own label of estate wine, and when the real estate market began to slow, the three men decided a wine bar might offer a good opportunity to showcase the McCarthys’ wine, grown in the Los Gatos hills above the former Jesuit novitiate, as well as other premium local wines.

“There are a lot of great wines right here in our backyard,” says Foley.

Because Santa Cruz wineries are often small and hard to reach, many don’t have tasting rooms. Before opening and choosing their list of wines, Foley and the McCarthys explored the back roads of the Santa Cruz Mountains to see what the area had to offer.

“We went out to some wild places down some dirt roads,” Foley recalls.

The wine bar is a good looker.

Outside on the appealing patio, there are cushy chairs and couches. Inside, there’s a long bar with wood-topped stools and cafe tables. In back, comfy couches give the place a loungelike, modern feel. An eclectic mix of music pulses throughout the space.

More than half of the wine list is given over to local wines. There are many of the more familiar labels like Testarossa, David Bruce, Ridge and Kathryn Kennedy, but what I like are some of the smaller, harder-to-find wineries like Sensorium, Damselfly and Los Gatos’ own Downhill Cellars.

The wine bar is so close to many of the wineries Rootstock showcases that it hosts regular winemaker events at which local winegrowers come in to show off their stuff.

Like nearby Enoteca La Storia, Rootstock has a bare-bones kitchen—no stove or grill, just a convection oven. And yet Rootstock coaxes a lot of food out of that kitchen.

When I was there, I spotted a dark Belgian ale from San Diego’s Los Abbey Brewery, an Evil Cousin imperial IPA from Pennsylvania’s Heretic Brewing Co. and an Old Thumper double British ale from Maine’s Shipyard Brewing Co. There have always been plenty of beer and booze bars in Los Gatos, but with places like Cin Cin, Enoteca La Storia (which plans to open a wine and tapas bar near Cin Cin) and now Rootstock, the grape is getting its due. And thanks to Rootstock, local wines are, too.

JOHN WAITE

San Jose Through September

Rodeo Club, San Jose Thu – 7pm; $20

This year’s VivaFest! gets rolling in earnest this week, with films at the Tech Museum, including a 20th anniversary showing of Like Water for Chocolate (Friday at 7pm; see Film Section for details); a Mariachi Mass at the Basilica of St. Joseph (10am); an outdoor celebration of food, culture and mariachi bands at the HP Pavilion Arena Green (11am– 7pm); Domingo Gigante, a concert featuring Lila Downs, Ozomatli, Paquita del Barrio, Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles; and more (7pm, see page 44 for more). (MSG)

After a moderately successful career with the power-pop group the Babies, John Waite embarked on a solo career that began in 1982 with his single “Change” but didn’t take off until 1985, when the song was included on the Vision Quest soundtrack. The pulsating force, blazing keyboard parts, rich vocal harmonies and trace power-pop elements of “Change” epitomized the mainstream pop sound of the decade. Waite would continue to take this sound and churn out several more hits, including “When I See

You Smile” (with Bad English) and “Missing You.” His recent albums are harder, more blues-inspired rockers.

He’s even grown his hair out to go with his new sound. (AC)

DRUNKEN STARFIGHTER Johnny V’s, San Jose Thu – 9pm; free Just as the Wu Tang Clan was a fierce rap band that happen to have an obsession with Kung Fu movies, Drunken Starfighter is a transcendental, soulful reggae group that just so happens to have a fixation with sci-fi pop culture. The group’s particular flavor of reggae is the mellow, spiritual sound from the late ’70s (and a bit of early-’80s dub).

CLYDE CARSON Studio 8, San Jose Friday – 9pm; free before 11pm; 21+ The current laid-back West Coast hip-hop sound is a stark contrast to the gritty club beats of the hyphy years. Oakland-based rapper Clyde Carson bridges the gap between these two styles. His new single, “Slow Down,” captures that mellow Sunday BBQ groove and adds a

pounding hyphy beat, but without any of those high-pitched sounds.

It’s no surprise that his former crew, the Team, were major players in the hyphy movement. Mayne Mannish and Ka Kyzah from the Team joined him on “Slow Down.” (AC)

DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES Mountain Winery; Saratoga Tuesday – 5:30pm; $49.50-$99.50 What made the inclusion of “You

Make My Dreams Come True” in the hip indie film (500) Days of Summer so funny was the song’s overwhelming—almost embarrassingly honest—genuine expression of love, something near impossible to find in today’s musical landscape. I dare say after the initial laughter, there wasn’t a person in the theater without chills running up their spine once that chorus kicked in. In 2010, when the indie-electronic duo the Bird and the Bee released an album of reimagined Hall & Oates covers, it turned out to be their strongest record to date.

Why? Hall & Oates weren’t just trendy blue-eyed soul pop icons, they were amazing songwriters.

Their songs still hold up, even as electro-pop jams. (AC)

NEW CENTURY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA Center for Performing Arts at Menlo-Atherton Tue – 8pm; $29-$59 To open its season, NCCO marks the upcoming (in 2013) centenary of the birth of British composer Benjamin Britten. In addition to his well-known operas—many of them, like Billy Budd, The Turn of the Screw and Death in Venice, based on literary sources—Britten created memorable works in a variety of forms. For this program, NCCO will perform the composer’s Simple Symphony and Les Illuminations, the latter with guest soprano Melody Moore. (MSG)

His owlish wife, Faringuisse (Maria de Medeiros), must work and take care of their two children while he lies

waiting for the end. She tries to lure her husband out of his despair with food, using the dish of the title, Chicken With Plums.

Neither Persian food porn nor a beguiling magical realist tale, Chicken With Plums is instead an unsteady follow-up to Persepolis by director/ writer Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud. The film is done in the mixed animation and live action style of Frank Miller and Zack Snyder, which includes passages of complete surrealism: a reverie of Sophia Loren is represented by a pair of room-size breasts, like the noses of a pair of zeppelins. Nasser Ali crawls between them, hangs onto them and dreams.

Stagey pink sunsets and cherry blossoms indicate perfect love, and a bus ride to a hilltop city coyly resembles the trolley ride at the

beginning of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.

Miniatures that are meant to look like miniatures are something pleasing in films. Too often, as here, they’re childishly made miniatures calling attention to their cuteness.

The hearts and flowers subject makes Chicken With Plums something on the order of an item found at a curiosity shop, just like the one where Nasser Ali, early in the film, purchases a violin once owned by Mozart himself.

The subject matter also seems antique: the angst of violinists was a remarkably popular story in 1930s films. As in those old films, the themes here include impotent love, arranged marriage and the corrosion of the soul caused by tradition. Nasser Ali turns out to have a lost love, played by the dismayingly pretty Golshifteh Farahani.

She’s a love object named, perhaps significantly, “Irâne.” When Nasser Ali plays his violin, the narrator tells us, “Iran was present in every chord.”

As we see, Nasser Ali is instead married to a woman that doesn’t like him much and doesn’t even care for his music. And he has a daughter who

inherits the family melancholy. She is played by Chiara Mastroianni, who did the voice of Marjane in the film of Persepolis. As a grown-up, she sports a peek-a-boo white Cruella de Vil shock in her hair, and she mutters bleak thoughts around a cigarette holder: “Life. If you only knew what I thought of life.”

His son, a stinky little boy, turns into something worse than melancholy— he emigrates and becomes (horrors) an American. This story within a story is staged as payback for every time American films have given us skulking robed terrorists or garlicky Frenchies.

These obese, violent and stupid Yankees in their garishly lit house are played by people with audible British accents.

The sequence is made for people who believe two wrongs make a right.

When the raven-winged Angel of Death, Azraël (Edouard Baer), finally turns up, there is at last something big enough and fanciful enough for the quasi-animated conceit. Among other things, the insinuating angel spins the tale of the “Appointment in Samarra,” a sequence animated in Satrapi’s style of drawing. It’s a familiar trope; YouTube has a snippet of Boris Karloff telling the story in Peter Bogdanovich’s 1968 Targets (a film that haunted the memory after the Aurora massacre).

While it’s always compelling, is this exactly the right legend in a film about someone deliberately seeking out death?

Made in France, Chicken With Plums has a sense of a dim Eastern light reflected one too many times.

And how it succeeds as an allegory is another question. If it’s a tale of exile, of art being stamped out by harsh tradition (of the fate of modern-day Iran), it’s a fantasy that leads to the ultimate self-sacrifice. It seems to have the Borges-esque motto “Resistance Is Futile.”

It’s possible to make a story of a hero knocked out by despair (Melancholy was a success at it). Here, the realistic figure in the cartoon landscape doesn’t give the landscape depth, and the cartoon landscape doesn’t give the realistic figure whimsy.

(G; 100 min.) Toy Story may have been Pixarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst (and possible greatest), but it was Nemo that ushered in the animationdomination that came to be known as Disney/Pixar. It was the biggest ďŹ lm of 2003, and it helped rejuvenate Ellen Degeneresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career:

FLYING SWORDS OF DRAGON GATE (R; 121 min.) Two magniďŹ cent, gorgeously colored and semicoherent hours of wuxia by the master Tsui Hark. It is a remake of/sequel to Tsuiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dragon Inn. The secret police blighting the land in the Ming dynasty are countered by a daring outlaw (Jet Li), who introduces himself to an evil mandarin like so: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My name is Zhao Huaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;an. But you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to remember it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll carve it on your cursed head so everyone will know who killed you.â&#x20AC;? After a shipboard ďŹ ght, the action shifts to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;black inn,â&#x20AC;? itself on the edge of a turmeric colored desertâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ogreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hangout near the semimystical ruined gates by a Xixian palace buried in the sands. The beguiling Lun-Mei Kwai, as a facially tattooed Tartar princess called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Grim Reaper,â&#x20AC;? adds some modernday Whedonism to the typical swashbuckling modesty of Li and his swordsman allies.

Chocolate Anniversary

SAN JOSE METRO

WED 9/12

Just try ďŹ ghting the calories after the 20th anniversary screening of Alfonso Arauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Like Water for Chocolate (Sept. 14, 7pm). The 1992 ďŹ lm was a Cinderella story, both in plot and in little-movie success. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a magical-realist tale of love expressed through cooking. At the time of the Mexican Revolution, Tita (the delectable Lumi Cavazos) is refused marriage by her mother, thanks to some traditional tonterias. Tita sublimates her yearning for love in the kitchen, creating delicacies for those she craves and witchesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dishes for those who steer her wrong. Give or take The Big Night and Babetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Feast, Like Water for Chocolate was the most interesting ďŹ lm in a genre

dismissed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;food porn.â&#x20AC;? This unlikely tale had an edge of sulfur and spice that distinguished it from imitators.

Unlike Tita, some viewers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to just watch and sublimate, thanks to a tasting from Berkeleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Casa de Chocolates on the night of the show.

On Sept. 15, there will be a banquet (separate admission) at the Adobe Lodge at Santa Clara Mission with all 12 dishes from the ďŹ lm, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Northern Style Chorizoâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quails in Rose Petal Sauce.â&#x20AC;?

This village of artisans creates modern variations of pre-Columbian pieces by the Paquime people (there are some beautiful examples of these at Stanford University).

REVIEW

JG@I<J FE K?< GC8@E ‘Samsara’ roams the globe looking for striking images, including a vista of Bagan temples in Burma.

Time-Lapse Travelogue IN Samsara, one finds a visually overpowering meditation on the sufferings and endurance of this planet, with a world-music soundtrack but with no overt directorial comment. The recruitment to express oneself spiritually doesn’t have to be put into words—it’s implicit.

Director Ron Fricke shot Koyaanisqatsi, still the best of the half-dozen or so films in this micro-genre. Listen to Philip Glass’ soundtrack of that 1982 movie (one of the most powerful film scores ever composed, certainly), and one can hear how the matchlessly turbulent music gave the images a pulse.

Fricke’s work in time-lapse photography is pioneering—consider the wheeling stars over a beyond-ancient bristlecone pine, or the play of day and night and day over the ruins in the desert. We see the Los Angeles freeways as a torrent of cars and flashing lights. The road system looks like a living and malevolent electronic brain, lighting up with a million thoughts at once. This is exactly the effect Fricke is looking for: a justification of the title’s reference to the wheel of suffering, which can only be escaped through religion.

Repeatedly, Fricke closes in on the calm gaze of a mammoth gilded Buddha, whose facial expression could be summed up by the chorus of a certain Radiohead tune: “I’m not here. This

isn’t happening.” Sometimes, Fricke’s segues are intriguing—ancient ruins to a modern house somewhere (the Aral Sea, maybe?), quite literally deserted, swamped by sands. But some of the juxtapositions have the essential banality of a Life magazine pictorial: heavily tattooed ruffian cradles his small smooth baby; numbered and nighJXdjXiX identical sex workers PG-13; 99 min. at Patpong Road are Opens Friday placed next to plastic, anatomically correct sex toys.

Factory farming and assembly lines are speeded up to insane yet futile pace compared to the slow, worshipful crawls through the Vatican, St. Chapelle and a flyover of Southeast Asian wats. We see condo palaces on the edge of fetid slums, and the grisliness of agribusiness.

What Fricke leaves out, the mass, sped-up slaughter of the chickens and the steers, would be even worse.

Samsara is like the IMAX spectacle films: gorgeous, sweeping and even sometimes intimate (as in the ultra-ultra-closeups of Tibetan monks putting their intricate designs on a sand mandala). In terms of argument, it’s hackneyed and reductive.

I’ve been a commuter on packed subway trains for years, and yet I insist I’m not an ant.—Richard von Busack

My grandma and my mom always spoke in their native language. That was also was cause for some discrimination in Mexico when I was growing up.”

Her latest album, Pecados y Milagros (Sins and Miracles) was released last fall, and is a bit of a departure from her previous efforts, but it was still hugely successful. The New York Times called it “sleek modern Mexican pop with a thrilling, chameleonic voice at its center,” and it debuted at number one on the

Billboard Top Latin Albums.

Part of the appeal of the album, Downs believes, is that, as she’s matured, she’s tapped more deeply into her religious faith.

“I think as you get older, your music just kind of melts into what your trying to say,” Downs explains. “My writing isn’t so explicit anymore; it’s more about metaphor. Faith is a very unusual, amazing quality that humans have, and it comes in so many varieties and ways you can interpret it.

“For Mexicans, it’s a very particular interpretation with its Christian and Catholic iconography, but it’s not only that, it’s a belief in nature, of mystical spirits and the spirits of old revolutionaries and things like that.

My mother even says to me, ‘Whoever you think is dead or has passed, put his [image] up on the altar, and we’ll ask for miracles.’”

She continues, “So it’s a very apocryphal kind of religion, and I find it very liberating in these times. Especially in Mexico, which has been going through a wave of violence for quite a while now. In these desperate times you tend to think a lot about God.” Her faith isn’t without its beneficiaries. Downs has long been

celebrated for her social activism. She is still eager to help make a difference in peoples’ lives.

“My husband and I work with one charity in southern Mexico, which we really believe in,” she says. “It’s an NGO that has existed for about 20 years. They are extremely successful in terms of their few recipients of a scholarship which we have supported year after year.

They have been successful at producing tremendously high-achieving young Native American women from the state of Oaxaca. We are very proud of being part of that, and we support it each year with a concert and a press campaign in Mexico.”

While Downs’ music covers a very stylistically diverse range (her latest album even includes some collaborations with rappers), there is a powerful message at the heart of her work.

“I also thinks it’s the big things, like love, empathy and consciousness,” she says. “I hope that I get those things across, and I still feel like I really have a lot more to do in English. There is a big audience out there that needs to hear what I have to say, about the immigration issues especially.”

Lila Downs will perform at the upcoming VivaFest! in San Jose on Sunday 16th in a program called Domingo Gigante: A Night of Stars, along with Ozomatli, Mariachi Vargas, Paquita la del Barrio and Mariachi Reyna de Los Angeles.

In years past, Downs has been at the festival, playing with such acts as Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Cobre. She is excited to play again in California, but like anyone who has spent time here, she is torn between its familiarity and the rest of the world.

“Oh, I love it. I love California. It’s like coming home for me every time. It makes me keep believing in humanity, you know, which is pretty cool,” she says, laughing. “I think about my days [following] the Grateful Dead, and maybe that’s why I never moved back to California, because I always want it to be like that for me. You know, I think if I moved back there I would lose that.”

Rap Foundations IN 1990, LA Times reporter Robert Hilburn said of rap music: “It was 10 years ago that the Sugarhill Gang’s ‘Rapper’s Delight’ became the first rap single to enter the national Top 20. Who ever figured then that the music would even be around in 1990, much less produce attractions that would command as much pop attention as Public Enemy and N.W.A?” This was back in the golden age of hip-hop, when artists were still reinventing the genre with every new record Kurtis Blow, Sugarhill that was being released. Yet, despite the groundbreaking Gang, Doug E. Fresh influence “Rapper’s Delight” had, it was still viewed as a disco-inspired novelty record. Now, more than 30 years Friday, 7:30pm; since its release, the significance of that song has grown $25–$55 more apparent. The Sugarhill Gang hadn’t just made a silly song, they’d figured out how to craft pop music out of this budding street art. One year later, Kurtis Blow would top them by releasing “The Breaks,” the first hip-hop song to sell a half-million records. He would also become the first rapper to sign to a major label. This was only the beginning of rap’s close relationship to pop and mainstream music.

Doug E. Fresh’s legacy is a little more obscure. He helped to popularize beatboxing, even earning the name “The Human Beat Box.” But while beatboxing didn’t stand the test of time, it was an essential part of the language that formed rap while still in its infancy, just like rapping a capella on street corners and spitting verses over funk albums at block parties. Rap was never as raw and untarnished as it was when it was still in the hands of the forefathers.

This Mountain Winery bill features all three, although Sugarhill Gang founding members Michael “Wonder Mike” Wright and Guy “Master Gee” O’Brien will not be performing this Friday as part of the Sugarhill Gang. According to the recent documentary I Want My Name Back, the duo lost legal rights to the band name and instead tour as “Rapper’s Delight.” Silvia and Joe Robinson, owners of their former label, Sugar Hill Records, currently own the rights to the name and have a different group of guys performing in their place.—Aaron Carnes

Talent Night at Iguanas EVERY THURSDAY night in downtown San Jose, Iguanas Taqueria hosts its weekly open-mic session. The soft ambiance of neon lighting from the front window serves as a backdrop for the performers, and encouraging accoutrements such as an excellent sound system, microphones and bar stools are provided. The crowd is generally a supportive group of young and old, regulars and newcomers, that come together to soak up some self-expression ranging from stand-up comedy to spoken word, from rappers to acoustic musicians.

The seats are mostly always filled, and the small room draws a comfortably close peanut gallery to the back. A few times throughout the show, the enthusiastic hosts recommend that everyone high-five the person next to them and introduce themselves. It’s a “come as strangers, leave as friends” type of vibe.

Open Mic Thursdays, 9pm–midnight Iguanas

Many of the performers are local artists hoping to get their name and/or message out to the public. One individual from Fremont who uses the stage name Chekmate plans to make Iguanas’ open-mic night a regular event on his calendar: “I was just walking around in downtown and popped my head in and decided I was going to start coming more often.” He hopes to bring more of his music, especially his own R&B material, to future open mics.

Some performers are already in the network and want to expand their repertoire. Two business partners from Southern California who specialize in club promotions produce what they consider “an advanced and improved LMFAO,” a dance club-rap sound. They had the audience foot-tapping and headnodding along.

The most interesting part of the Iguanas open-mic sessions is that these performers are real people subject to the same daily satisfactions and struggles as the rest of us. The curtain between performer and audience is made transparent here. As one performer put it, “Poetry don’t pay.” These artists are all here because they love to both watch and participate.—Simone Larson
