Pioneers Hitchhiking in the Valley of Heart’s Delight consists of five life-size cutout portraits. of people that were responsible for advancing the technology of Silicon Valley. These cutouts will be implanted with GPS devices and then abandoned in public places, two of them across the U.S. and three in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a request for passers-by to deliver them to a prescribed location in San Jose. Real-time information about them and their whereabouts will be presented in South Hall.
