This podcast is about objects, but more importantly, it is about some of the recent theories that offer new conceptualisations of objects in contemporary philosophy and art. 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.

Enjoy!

For someone like me who keeps forgetting he's suscribed to the RWM podcasts, these replyless topics are always the best ones.

I'm proud for WATMM to be regarded as somewhat target audience for these types of podcasts. Cheers, RWM
