bio
Dmitry Paranyushkin was born in 1981 in Moscow, Russia. While studying at
Moscow State University (BA in economics with specialization in discrete
mathematics) he started an on-going research
practice dedicated to resuscitating his natural habitat.
One of its spinoffs was WayToRussia.Net (co-founded
in 2001 together with Danil Perushev), which became the most popular online
travel guide to Russia by 2006.
In 2003 Dmitry co-founded The Solvents Collective at Dartington College of
Arts and they devised and performed together during 2003-2006 at BAC Theatre
(London), Edinburgh Fringe Festival, School for New Dance Development (Amsterdam).
In 2006 The Solvents were dissolved, Dmitry moved to Berlin, and embarked
on a solo music and performance career, which gave birth to Russki Beat
life-style project (2006 - 2008), presented in various theaters and venues
across Europe.
In 2007 Dmitry started This
Is Like ( http://thisislike.com ) – the online platform for associative
thinking and network research.
In 2009 Dmitry joined forces with Johannes Wengel and Stefan Faerber and
started an online platform for Berlin's music and art – PLAYBerlin. Together
they organize regular TAMTAMTAM events that bring together the city's creative
scene in surprising locations and configurations.
During the same year they also started Vogelstrauß – an
animal band dedicated to transgressing the boundaries of language and rhythm.
In 2010 Dmitry started to curate T3 Performance Lab at Kunstfabrik, which
offers the opportunities to artists and researchers to share and present
their work, as well as the infrastructure and knowledge to develop
this work further.
During 2009-2010 Dmitry took an active part in popularizing the methods
and benefits of network analysis in various contexts. He participated in
various conferences
(a2n, re:publica 2010), published
articles (TAZ, F5), and provided consultancy services to the individuals
and businesses interested in network representation of their activities and
ideas.
In 2010 Dmitry and Diego Agullo created Transnomia –
the ongoing research project in transitionary states, which was premiered
at Performing Arts Forum in France.
Dmitry is currently researching textual networks, nonlinear dynamical systems
theory and language – using ThisIsLike as a tool to explore associative
narratives in performative contexts and rewire our habitual ways of navigating
through information and meaning.
