NETWORK
Reloading Images is an open network of artists, writers, curators, architects, filmmakers, designers, scholars and interdisciplinary cultural practitioners. Members of the network initiate and organize activities on a project-by-project basis, working together across various disciplines, formats and places. Our practice takes the form of process-oriented artistic research.

RESEARCH
For us, artistic research is the primary tool of self-education. Through artistic research, working methods and structures beyond the scope of established models arise that lead us to ask questions of ourselves and what we are studying. Our object of study is our creative practice and the circumstances surrounding it in its specific regional contexts. Our goal in undertaking this study is to produce a free space for our own continuing education and engagement in our practice.

APPROACH
Reloading Images projects happen on the basis of communication and exchange: in theoretical considerations, collective artistic projects and workshops in which we seek to find ways of combining academic and artistic, experimental and applied, intuitive and research-based forms of discourse and display. We create temporary structures in which experiments can be undertaken, formats explored, forms of language and (visual) communication re-appropriated, modes of (re)presentation investigated, situated in intense phases of working and living together.

QUESTIONS
Reloading Images signifies an approach rather than a fixed agenda of theoretical questions or issues. The focal questions of each Reloading Images project differ and are based on the specific circumstances in which they are placed. Our previous projects have explored the complex web of unconscious influences, cultural phenomena, migratory forms, and subjective constructions of narratives that contemporary society is based on. We created forms and spaces of experience, rendering our understanding of the “Other” possible and allowing for communication to take place on unfamiliar premises.

COMMUNITY
Reloading Images’ open network can be found >>here. This community website serves as a research base and tool for preparing future projects. Our current members consist of participants and partners/collaborators from previous projects. Our network is open for others who are interested in further utilizing, expanding, and developing Reloading Images’ concept and approach through projects and proposals. Please contact us in case you are interested in joining or have questions.
