The Influencers is a project by Eva and Franco Mattes and Bani, started in 2004 with the collaboration of the Center of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona.

Eva and Franco Mattes - internationally known as 0100101110101101.org - is a couple of restless European con-artists who use non conventional communication tecniques to obtain the largest visibility with the minimal effort.

Bani is an independent researcher, designer, and event producer. Since 2001 he has been collaborating extensively with cultural institutions, artists and grassroots political groups in Italy, Spain and Venezuela.

Mattes and Bani first collaborated in the production of Digital Is Not Analog, a series of three international festivals and a few artists presentations who took place from 2000 to 2002, both in Italy and Spain. Digital Is Not Analog was a project of d-i-n-a whose members are Eva and Franco Mattes, Snafu, Gabriele Cosentino and Bani.
