Recent occurrences in different spheres of life from the ecological 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 artists and writers to investigate this new unimaginary and explore the
unique qualities of its terrain. The accompanying Un_imaginable publication is the first instalment
in the ZIP Digital Arts Edition series jointly produced by iCinema, ZKM Karlsruhe and the
University of Pittsburgh.
