Jonathan Wells, RES was a bi-monthly magazine chronicling the best in cutting-edge film, music, art, design and culture.
The full-length premiere issue debuted in August 1997 with music video directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris on the cover.
Subsequent issues featured innovative filmmakers and artists such as Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Lars von Trier, Björk, Radiohead, and Takagi Masakatsu.
In July 2000, Holly Willis took over as editor-in-chief and oversaw a redesign of the magazine by Trollback + Company.
