Digital-is-not-analog @ CCCB: a series of 4 meetings organized in conjunction by
d-i-n-a collective and the CCCB.
 
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, the wide diffusion of basic digital communication tools and their exploitation 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 that 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 emerging scene.
 

The 4 meetings are part of the local events program in preparation of the Next5Minutes 4 festival, Amsterdam, May 2003 (http://www.n5m.org).
