- DIS is a collaborative project based in New York City. It was founded in 2010 by Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, Marco Roso, David Toro, Nick Scholl, Patrik Sandberg and Samuel Adrian Massey, and publishes DIS Magazine, a twist on a lifestyle and fashion magazine. It is now composed of Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, Marco Roso and David Toro. The project's title refers to the prefix dis- ('to do the opposite of') and is meant to reflect an oppositional attitude. DIS is primarily known for their interdisciplinary approach to advertising, fashion, communication and popular culture via the Internet. Critics and audiences have associated them with Postinternet art, though they themselves do not identify with the term, dubbing it ‘a pun with no hope for a conceit’ in one interview. The project began and evolved from an online, interactive magazine that is a twist on a lifestyle, art and fashion magazine. In addition to the magazine, DIS consists of the platforms DISimages – a project producing new stock imagery – and DISown – a now-closed concept store featuring work by over 30 artists as a laboratory to test the current status of the art object, as well as notions of taste and consumerism.
