Content

Recent developments affecting every sphere of life-from the ecological through to the judicial have redefined our notion of the unbelievable. While maintaining continuities with a long history of the irreal, this new unimaginary confronts us with radically diverse realities, reformulating the condition and expression of life itself. Digital imagery plays a critical role in this reformulated notion, since it presents itself not only as a medium but also as a limit of contemporaneity. The »un_imaginable« project invites a range of internationally noted artists and writers to investigate this new unimaginary, and to explore the unique qualities of its terrain. Six current and historical video works on DVD are accompanied by a 144-page book of essays investigating the broad theoretical-philosophical aspects of the topic as well as more closely examining and commenting upon the works presented.
