In this episode, we talk to McKenzie Wark, Liam Young and Mette Edvardsen
about space. Space, and the spaces we inhabit as mediating objects. Space
as object of desire, as the ultimate “outer”. Space as a medium for
extremely strange objects, from heavenly bodies to UFOs and many other
myths. A three-way look at the idea of space, from political theory to
performance art.

More info: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20171010/Objecthood_5_eng.pdf


In this episode, we talk to *Hito Steyerl*, *Helen Hester* and *Roula
Partheniou* about a number of ramifications of the idea of object in their
respective practices.

The 1997 track by Operator & Baffled that opens the programme, 'Things Are
Never', repeats over and over again that things are never quite the way
they seem. OBJECTHOOD #5 underlines the view of objects as points of
convergence of a multitude of social, political, economic relations,
trapped in matter and more or less made invisible by their everydayness.

OBJECTHOOD #4
<http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood4-nabil-ahmed-arie-altena-agf/capsula>.
feat. interviews with Nabil Ahmed, Arie Altena and a reading by AGF
of Vilém Flusser’s ‘Vampyroteuthis Infernalis’.


The slippery materiality of untraceable objects: from the arsenic poisoning
the wells of Bangladesh as told by Nabil Ahmed, to Arie Altena's account of
the superstition surrounding the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia, or the
bizarre biology of the vampire squid from hell in a passage of Vilém
Flusser’s ‘Vampyroteuthis Infernalis’ read by AGF.

and curator Quim Pujol discuss monsters, otherness, hybrids, agency and
fetish.

<https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood1_graham_harman_luciana_parisi/capsula>
feat.
interviews with Graham Harman and Luciana Parisi.

https://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood1_graham_harman_luciana_parisi/capsula


This first episode features philosophers *Graham Harman and Luciana Parisi*.
Harman's object-oriented ontology opposes Kant's anthropocentrism and the
scientistic standpoint, in defence of a radically broad notion of
objecthood; while Parisi looks at the relations between things and data,
between macrophysical objects (or blobjects, as Karim Rashid called them)
and the algorithms that create them.
