13 REASONS is a research-driven, interdisciplinary magazine dedicated to experimental artistic and theoretical practices. It addresses contemporary questions of power, technology, ecology, and post-anthropocentric thought, positioning itself at the interface of visual art, sound, performance, and critical theory.
Each issue is structured as a curated assemblage of heterogeneous materials, bringing together artists, writers, theorists, and researchers from international contexts. Designed for academic libraries, art institutions, and research-based collections, the magazine supports teaching, discourse, and cross-disciplinary inquiry while deliberately challenging established publishing formats and disciplinary boundaries.

Between art, activism, and critical theory: this magazine attacks cultural decline and sketches radical visions of the future.
The biannual print magazine published by Munich's 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 contributing artists and theorists use text, image, code, and performance to create a complex web of criticism and vision that renegotiates conventional boundaries between humans, machines, and the environment.
For readers who seek intellectual and aesthetic challenges and are willing to abandon established patterns of thought.
