Subsequent issues featured innovative filmmakers and artists such as Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Lars von Trier, Björk, Radiohead, and Takagi Masakatsu.

''RES'' was headquartered in New York City.<ref name=disco/> When the magazine first launched, it carried the tagline "The Magazine of Digital Filmmaking".

Jonathan Wells served as the editor-in-chief and later editorial director, while Karol Martesko-Fenster served as publisher.

In July 2000, Holly Willis took over as editor-in-chief and oversaw a redesign of the magazine by Trollback + Company. Starting with the September/October 2002 issue, the magazine evolved into a lifestyle magazine for creators covering the fields of film, music, art and design. Since the redesign, all issues of the magazine were bundled with a DVD that was sent to subscribers. The DVDs featured short films, music videos and music. RES was the first U.S. publication to include a DVD with every issue of the print publication.

The October 2006 issue of ''RES'' was the last issue to be printed.<ref name=disco/> A new hybrid magazine format was supposed to be launched by RES in 2007, and was intended to be published in several media. However, it was not materialized.<ref name=disco/>

RES was published by RES Media Group, which also produced the international touring film festival, RESFest.<ref name=disco/>
