From the Top!

DIG has always existed in the minds and instincts of it's protagonists. To the outside world however, it is a relatively new phenomenon.

DIG first broke molds and made waves with the DIG Multimedia events. These brought together the finest local film-makers, artists, sculptors and DJ's to create an interactive entertainment venue, chock full of content and dynamism, all for no commercial return. This ethos of showcasing art and artists collectively and accessibly for the public informs all of DIG's activities to date.

DIG's next arena of operation was publishing and DIG undertook it's boldest project yet, the DIGzine. The DIGzine took the event into A5 magazine form, containing a diverse range of artists, each given an A4 page. This black and white publication was sold locally and via the net. Issue 2 is now nearing completion. We will be serialising Issue 1 over coming weeks. (See left for front cover. Image courtesy of DIG)

DIG sets no boundaries between artforms. El Presidente proclaimed 'Its all rock'n'roll' and so it came to pass. DIG's involvement in music began with bush recitals of eclectic roots music to indigenous forest dwellers, reared on pub rock and the anticipated second coming of Bob Marley. These missionary campaigns in to the hinterland, took these new/old forms of music and represented them in new , exciting and relevant ways. Eager for new converts DIG joined forces with a nascent Community Radio station and commenced broadcasting strange transmissions, mixing deep roots music, clashing genres, poetry, political comment and abstract nonsense in a revolutionary new style. This 'Audiosonic Travelogue' was further enhanced utilising the Hamilton Taight Process (Look out for later entries on this afilliated organisation). This new sound has transformed and mutated and is ready to give birth to further DIGactivity at any time.

DIG is now looking farther afield and with more ambition than ever before. This 'Blogjam' represents the beginning of a new stage. We are glad to have you aboard.

Transmit and you shall receive.
