Kim de Groot is a design researcher with an MA in new media. She is part of the lectoraat Communication in a digital age and teaches new media at the Willem de Kooning academy Kim's research deals with the inverted relation between image and reality. Moving from representation to the performative, from the visual to the infrastructural, images are no longer created to represent a reality but to manage it. Kim examines images as informational objects and traces the relations between image, event and media.

From wednesday to friday I will join Picnic, a new media festival in Amsterdam, as an artist and share my report with you here on my blog and on friday at Picnic between 15:00 - 17:00 at the Flexbar. http://www.picnicnetwork.org/page/27590/en

One of the reasons I like to attend Picnic is to find out how research is combined with design and artistic practice. Another reason is that many of the events seem to allow for visual answers, proposals or scenarios.

Of course my picnic report will be related to my work for Imaginary Property. I will be experimenting with what the digital networked image could look like and through this interface, show its workings.
It is the current transformation of digital (networked) images that intrigue me, turning into owned objects, containers of data while at the same time, identifiers of (property) relations within a network.

What is Picnic's property model?
What properties do Picnic images contain?
