13 Reasons

Between art, activism, and critical theory: This magazine challenges cultural decline and envisions radical futures.

The biannual print magazine published by Munich-based Lothringer 13 Halle positions itself as a subversive force against social stagnation. It sees itself as a "parasitic medium" that infiltrates existing systems in order to initiate change.

The first issue, "ANARCHIC ANIMISM + MACHINIC METABOLISM," brings together artistic and philosophical positions that question hierarchical power structures and explore new forms of coexistence. From Georgi Gospodinov's dystopian fragments to critical reflections on AI technologies to Manuela Illera's observations on Colombian musical traditions, diverse forms of expression merge here into a polyphonic manifesto.

The participating artists and theorists use text, images, code, and performance to create a complex tapestry of critique and vision that renegotiates conventional boundaries between humans, machines, and the environment.

For readers who are looking for intellectual and aesthetic challenges and are willing to abandon established patterns of thinking.

Issue no. 1 is available now. Issue no. 2 will be published on 22 October 2026.
