Constructed inside the Biennial's South Hall, Gift Horse is a project from Victoria Scott and Scott Kildall that will be paraded through the streets by costumed warriors during Saturday's 01SJ art parade, the Green Prix.

Playing off the idea of the "Trojan Horse" as a digital virus infecting computers, Kildall and Scott are leading workshops during 01SJ in which participants will create origami-like paper sculptures modeled after real viruses. The sculptures will fill the belly of the beast before it leaves the South Hall and makes its way through the city.

Arriving inside the San Jose Museum of Art at the end of 01SJ, the Gift Horse will spill its viral contents onto the floor, releasing participants' artwork into the museum.
