Born of a longtime desire to create a critical, and socially and creatively engaged transdisciplinary space, .DPI addresses cyberfeminism and broader issues involving women and their diverse relations to new media and contemporary technological landscapes. .DPI is an alternative platform for communication and exchange in a zone of shared concerns between feminism and Net specific realities. We seek to initiate a technocritical exchange on the many preoccupations that women have concerning the technological ubiquity that we live with.

Using the Web as a medium of expression, the Studio is attempting with this initiative to:

_ Offer critical and innovative perspectives on social, political and cultural phenomena that have an impact on women's lives and experiences;
_Offer proactive resources and information regarding issues of access to, and understanding and mastering of technology;
_Participate in existing feminist networks and in the development of emerging cyberfeminist communities.

The editorial board is soliciting contributions from theoreticians, curators, activists, and practitioners, from here and abroad. It is open to texts inspired by the current working theme of the Studio, or proposing a critical and feminist reflection on issues connected to women and technology.

Each bilingual issue features three background texts, which can be academic or more experimental. One of the essay will find a response in the following issues to build up a chain of in-depth reflection throughout time. All contributions are remunerated.
