I AM PALO ALTO

I Am Palo Alto is an interactive exhibit that brings the human story of Palo Alto to life. Through a large-scale dynamic mosaic of animated portraits, visitors discover the people who shaped the city—from early pioneers and educators to visionaries, artists, and innovators who changed the world.

Powered by ethical AI voice reconstruction and a touchscreen exploration table, the exhibit transforms history into a living conversation. Guests can hear from figures such as Anna Zschokke, founders of Silicon Valley, musicians, activists, and everyday residents whose stories built the community we know today.

Visitors are also invited to add their own voice, contributing memories and perspectives that become part of the evolving digital archive.

I Am Palo Alto is more than an exhibit. It is a celebration of the city’s identity—a living mosaic of its past, present, and future.
