With contributions by Memo Akten, Ingrid Burrington, Peter Edwards, OPEN WEATHER (Sasha Engelmann & Sophie Dyer), Luzi Gross, Fabian Heller, Rosa Menkman, Susan Schuppli, UCNV and Alan Warburton and projects by Students of the Klasse Digitale Grafik HfBK Hamburg


The contributions gathered in the Reader Nr. 4 – im/possible images continue questions and themes of the exhibition project im/possible images in essays, reflections, collections of material and manuals.

The exhibition (15.7.-19.9.2021) presented research-based works by international artists* that open the black box of everyday image processing technologies. Questions they asked were: how do resolutions shape images and how does the process of resolving compromise other forms of rendering? When do aberrations and translations turn into false representations? And how has the field of computer simulation expanded the rules and functioning of our imagery?

 In the idea of accompanying publishing, texts and visual material are made accessible in the series of L13 readers that are connected to the themes and questions of various projects from the program of Lothringer 13 Halle and open up further spaces for thought. The contributions will be made available both online and in print on site at the Lothringer 13 Halle and can be individually compiled by visitors.
