This project is part of a larger initiative to re-imagine life in the Central Valley of California. The //Building Imagination Initiative is con­fronting a poverty of imag­i­na­tion by using art -  videos, archi­tec­ture,  design, and game­play — to inspire cre­ativ­e solutions to the California Central Valley’s many quality of life problems. Col­lab­o­rat­ing with the Modesto Art Museum, the //Bii fosters an artis­tic response to Modesto’s, and the surrounding Central Valley area’s, rank­ing as the most unliv­able city in the coun­try. Through this project, the //Bii explores some of the rea­sons for Modesto’s low rank­ing and re-imagines ways for the city to become a more liv­able soci­ety.

Com­mu­nity mem­bers are invited to watch the videos, play the game, imagine what’s Coming Soon!, post com­ments,  images, videos, and send emails or post­cards to the Modesto Art Museum. These will be added to the project, with each vision expanding the horizons of what’s possible.
