The Influencers.
7-9 April 2005. This festival is a celebration of practices that cut across traditional ideas about design, art, computer engineering, performance and entertainment. The group of five artists, activists and researchers behind the festival call themselves d-i-n-a (Digital is not analog), and are currently based in Barcelona, Bologna, Rome and New York, having joined forces to organize public events about controversial and extreme forms of "radical entertainment". These often take a surreal or politically incorrect approach to achieve the collectives radical aims. Revolutionary technology is a mainstay of the groups toolkit with internet and p2p networks used to break into mainstream culture like the media, pop industry and advertising. They explore the presently uncertain space where art, communication and social issues meet with their visually challenging, technologically prolific and media-based performance projects. Expect to be confronted with a concoction of traditional art, politics, unabashed marketing, communications technology, and even videogames. Entry costs 4.40 or 3.30 with concessions.
