Infopoint Via del Laghetto, 2 - Milano

After the events held in Bologna in 2000 and 2001, d-i-n-a proposes its first event for year 2002 in Milan.

d-i-n-a invited some relevant figures of international net culture scene: Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno from Yes Men, Matthew Fuller from London collective I/O/D, the milanese group of artists and programmers epidemiC and from Rome Macchina and her project ID_Runners.

These four guests work in apparently different but actually intertwined fields: from a kind of political performance that get across real and Web spaces, until software criticism or identity game through the Internet.

The event has been coordinated by Marco Deseriis (a.k.a Snafu), who will introduce the speakers and will chair the meeting. In the last years he wrote essays and articles for RAI's (Italyn National Radio Television) web portal and for the Italyn node of the international network The Thing. Last year he chaired the D-I-N-A.2001 festival, produced by d-i-n-a.
