Digital-is-not-analog @ CCCB: a series of 4 meetings organized in
conjunction by d-i-n-a collective (http://d-i-n-a.net) and the CCCB
(http://www.cccb.org).
The focus of the meetings is on 4 projects started in the last few
years, that standed out for their unexpected and provocative
infiltration within contemporary communication technologies and styles.
The four invited guests are Surveillance Camera Players (New York),
Ubermorgen (Wien/Sofia), Casseurs de Pub (Lyon) and Electronic
Disturbance Theater (New York).
Since the mid 90s, both the wide diffusion of basic digital communication tools - on the one side- and their exploitation - on the other side - made new forms of creation possible within the aesthetical
and social innovation processes. While different cultures such as social
activism, visual and performance arts, radical and utopic research on electronical media always shared a largely common (but often unacknowledged) background, in the 90s they experimented new connections
on a technological basis. The result today are projects that may be classified by different labels (hacktivism, tactical media, culture jamming between others), but that perform a similar way of acting as
viral entities in the contemporary mediascape.
Digital-is-not-analog @CCCB is meant to give the opportunity of meeting some of the protagonists of this emerging scene (some them are presenting their work for the first time in Barcelona), but it also aims to be a contribution in the very identification of that scene itself.
The 4 meetings are part of the local events program in preparation of
the Next5Minutes 4 festival, Amsterdam, May 2003 (http://www.n5m.org).
