Digital Inter/Section (DI/S) is an European initiative for digital art and culture organisations

DI/S aims at exploring new business models for cultural organisations in the digital arts sector, willing to  develop their revenue streams and business models while promoting sustainable, ethical and inclusive economic growth. 

In a hands-on approach, DI/S is actively engaged in developing and testing  innovative business models and sharing open source tools for increasing economic resilience in the whole European new media art sector. 

The digital 
inter/Section 
network

The digital 
intersection network

  • 4 digital art organisations in 4 European vibrant cities  4 local territories (Marseille - CHRONIQUES, Namur - KIKK, Zagreb - KONTEJNER, Prague - SIGNAL) 
  • 1 third-country partner (Montreal - MASSIVart)
  • 1 partner with an expertise in business design, offering a complimentary, wide network outside the digital art sector (Berlin - THE CATALYSTS)

The associated partners 
and their networks

  • Private companies, engaged through the pilot projects
  • Professional national and international networks

The five partners cooperate 
as a pan-European organisation, joining their forces in order to operate

  • In a collective way (peer-to-peer learning, experience sharing and group coaching)
  • In an open source and replicable way, so that the whole European CCS sector can benefit from the project outcomes (publication of guidelines, case studies, toolkits for capacity building)

The Digital Inter/Section project’s impact can be observed at several scales

  • The 5 European partners countries (France, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Germany) 
  • The 6th associated partner country (Canada) 
  • The 27 European countries that will be able to join the international online community for business development alliances and benefit from the global studies and methodological guidelines for business development
  • Asia, America and Africa, where the initial studies are carried out and who will benefit from the results of the project
