Unreasonable Adults is a name that encompasses far more than artistic practice. It speaks of a desire to be sudden, difficult and lost for words in a complex, unstable and deranged contemporary world. Unreasonable Adults intend to create work and generate ideas for new and varied spaces. The work is driven by a dedicated collective of artists with a strong sense of the solidarity in ensemble: working within an international cultural landscape and lineage of makers, thinkers and artists who are drawn to each other from various disciplines and backgrounds.

The collective use accessible (domestic) technology: email, sms, postal systems, public transport, cd burners, mp3 players, video, cd and dvd collections, radio’s and tv’s and like animal masks, dress-ups, wigs, simplicity/minimalism, instant responses, laughing and falling down, challenges, email, mobile phones, iMovie, pieces of paper, white-boards, colour, red wine, time and space. As a group, Unreasonable Adults have a mixed desire to make work that plays with the illusions of technology/devices and to completely expose their use (or uselessness).

Unreasonable Adults are not interested in disembodied new media, inaccessible language and technological alienation tactics. Instead the group open up literal and figurative doors, and allow for a more transparent relationship between the artist and the public. As live artists, the group’s relationship to technology, is to align themselves with the term coined by Peter Kirk: “Don’t mistake the tools for the purpose”.
