2012 marks the 25th anniversary of The AIDS Memorial Quilt and 30 years of life with AIDS. The San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles is proud and excited to announce that the AIDS Quilt Interactive: Touching 1.3 Million Square Feet will be on view as part of their 2nd International TECHstyle Art Biennial, running  August 7 - October 14, 2012.

The AIDS Quilt Interactive is a 42-inch interactive touchscreen tabletop that allows users to search through and examine detailed individual images from the 1.3 million square feet of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.

The 2nd International TECHstyle Art Biennial is a juried exhibition, focusing on new ways in which contemporary fiber artists are using technology as a part of their artistic process or within the content of their work. Piecing together an experience that is both historical and contemporary — TECHstyle exposes and explores the technological tensions and provocative imagery within the realm of fiber, cloth, and fashion. Curated by Deborah Corsini, this exhibit also runs August 7 - October 14, 2012.
