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, 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).
