Born in Italy in 2000 and based in Barcelona since 2001, d-i-n-a is a loose affinity group of 5 people involved in media arts, activism and academical research, who in special occasions join forces and organize public events to trigger some debate about art, communication, new technologies and social evolution.
Between 2000 and 2002 d-i-n-a organized three editions of the "Digital is not analog" festival, the event that introduced in Italy for the first time and for a general audience fresh creative practices such as net.art and culture jamming. The "Digital is not analog" festival (plus some smaller events under the same name in Italy and in Barcelona) introduced to the public some radical or paradoxical forms of direct intervention in the contemporary media landscape. Inviting artists, activists or self-taught inventors was meant to get a grip with practices related to the circulation of knowledge within computer networks, the influence of popular technologies in daily life and the potential of creativity in those realms.
In spring 2004 d-i-n-a organized in collaboration with the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona the first Influencers festival. With this new step, our research focused deeper - and wider at the same time - on "invisible" media performances and the subversion of popular culture icons, styles and strategies.
