The New York-based collective DIS (Est. 2010 ); made up of Lauren Boyle, Solomon Chase, Marco Roso, and David Toro, works across a wide range of media. In 2018, the collective transitioned platforms from  an online magazine,​ ​dismagazine.com​, to a video streaming edutainment platform,​ ​dis.art​, narrowing  in on the future of education as entertainment. DIS enlists leading artists and thinkers to expand the  reach of key conversations bubbling up through contemporary art, culture, activism, philosophy, and  technology, with the aim to inform and mobilize a generation around the vital issues facing us today  and tomorrow.  DIS was a part of the New Museum Triennial ​Surround Audience ​curated by Lauren Cornell and Ryan Trecartin (2015), the group exhibition ​Co-Workers,​ at the Musée Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2015),  and the new photography show at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2015), curated the 9th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, ​The Present in Drag, ​(2016), participated in the group  exhibition, ​I was Raised on the Internet, ​Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2018), as well as  curated and participated in ​Genre-Nonconforming: The DIS Edutainment Network ​at the De Young,  San Francisco (2017-18), ​Thumbs that Type and Swipe​, Casa Encendida, Madrid (2018), ​A Good Crisis ​at the Baltimore Museum of Art (opens Nov 2018).
