»01.01.08 - 10 years
in the web development business is a long time and we mark that milestone
this year. Zero One Design started out in 1997, hand coding websites in HTML
- a time when Flash, CSS and all the bells and whistles that make today's
virtual exhibitions pop didn't exist. We have to thank our many clients for
making us who we are today and allowing us to experiment from time to time!
We are looking forward to another 10 years working with the best that Canada
has to offer in culture.

»10.31.06 - In collaboration
with the BC Museum
of Mining, the British Columbia
Institute of Technology, the University
of BC and the Mineral
Resources Education Program of BC, Zero One Design the latest Virtual
Museum of Canada project The
Mill at The Mill at Britannia Mine: Beauty in the Beast has launched.
This year-long project explores the Concentrator and the community that worked
within it. The Concentrator, a National Historic Site and British Columbia
Provincial Landmark, is one of the most imposing structures on the Sea to
Sky Highway and its size and magnitude is matched only by its historical importance.
Highly innovative at the time of its construction in 1922, the Concentrator,
Mill #3, was key to Britannia Mines being one of the largest copper producing
mines in the British Commonwealth throughout the 1920s and a major mine into
the 1970s. The site uses interview material from experts and community members,
archival video and images, a fully immersible 3D tour, Quicktime VR, an interactive
flow chart and original blueprints to tell the story of the building.
