The reSource network engages with art and digital culture in Berlin in two ways: at regular meetings and roundtables, and through a mailing list, resource-net.

The reSource network organises meetings between artists, cultural producers and curators, among local Berlin project spaces and galleries to construct a hub for arts and technology activities in Berlin. The main focus is how to respond "artistically" in the city landscape of Berlin by creating a visible network of cultural agents, artists, activists, etc.

The reSource Network activity began in 2012, as part of the development of the reSource initiative, which has been curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli from 2011 to February 2014, focusing on art and technology, hacktivism, net politics and queer culture. In the framework of her research and curatorial activity, she brought artists, cultural producers, curators and activists into a dialogue, investigating the perception on the newborn reSource project, and the transmediale festival in general, and publishing the results in the reSource chat documentation project.

After the first reSource event at General Public in May 2012 which aimed to generate a collective discussion on networking methodologies of curating and distributed logic of artistic production with cultural producers based in Berlin, Panke e.V. and Art Laboratory Berlin took the initiative to initiate regular monthly meetings of Technology Based Art Spaces and Curators in Berlin, which extended into the related TBA Berlin project.

Further reSource meetings took place at Liebig12, SUPERMARKT, LEAP, Apartment Project Berlin, Art Claims Impulse, Public Art Lab, c-base, The Wye, connecting such networking activity with the planning of the pre-festival programme before transmediale and CTM festivals, named Vorspiel.

Apart from these meetings, the reSource project also set up a mailing list (resource-net), active since August 2012. This list comprises of members of the reSource network and is open for anyone to join. Mostly it consists of a conversation between different transmediale affiliated spaces and people in Berlin and internationally. The list can in itself be seen as a resource through which to share ideas, information and to coordinate events and people.

The list is an opportunity to collectively imagine distributed artistic initiatives, able to intervene within - and to reflect on - the current economical and political framework of the Berlin art scene.

The main language of the mailing list is English.
