Of spirit, friendship and independence

Z-Space Arts and Technology Society provides affordable, sustainable, community oriented office space dedicated to supporting creative technologists, startups and innovative small businesses.

Our Focus:

We believe in the value of small business, individual effort, exploration, and research. Our space invites individuals who create their own opportunities, share their learnings and efforts with each other and the world.

To this end, we host co-working, coffee, conversations, presentations, performances and parties supporting the local art and tech community. We connect with similar art, science, and technology spaces globally.

History

It's a long story, but we've been here a while - the building even longer! It started with six friends dreaming of running their own businesses in animation and design. We found that despite the challenge, it was always better with friends. Over time, members came and went, but consistently - some random evening... you could hear chatter, laughter and a low, persistent beat.

We're designers, developers and dreamers that take tangible action towards creating the world we want to live and work in, starting with our immediate surroundings. In other words, we're builders. Each day is a prototype of the future we want to live in - where creativity, community and care and central to our lived experience. We hold and share our space to uplift this way of being and making - we engage our clients and communities through technology to further this effort and come closer to our shared dream of 'the good life' where technology and people are in harmony.

We are from near and far, young and old, from many corners of the world (and growing!), yet we share a sense of purpose and a set of values. We soundly reject discrimination and hatred in all its forms. We attempt to build a better, inclusive future. Join us.

Beautiful space. Thank you for the super cool event!
