Instead<br \/>\nof simply mirroring fashions, d-i-n-a<br \/>\nunderlines links between successful tactics<br \/>\nand ideas, especially when developed in different corners<br \/>\nof contemporary digital cultures. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In particular my attention was drawn to a game called &#8220;Go West&#8221; in which one is an Albanian trying to emigrate to Italy. http:\/\/www.d-i-n-a.net\/en\/metagallery\/shkurti.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Go West&#8221; is a game by Gentian Shkurti that is about escaping Albania to emmigrate to Italy.
