OBJECTHOOD is a series of podcasts about new perspectives on the role of the object in contemporary art and philosophy. *OBJECTHOOD #1. featuring interviews with Graham Harman and Luciana Parisi* Curated by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros A historical overview and some new perspectives on objects in contemporary philosophy and art. Featuring interviews with Graham Harman and Luciana Parisi. Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood1_graham_harman_luciana_parisi/capsula Info: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20130823/Objecthood_1_eng.pdf MP3: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/objecthood/objecthood_1.mp3 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. *OBJECTHOOD #2. Featuring interviews with Florian Hecker and Erick Beltrán* Curated by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood2-florian-hecker-erick-beltran/capsula PDF: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/20140613/Objecthood_2_en.pdf MP3: http://rwm.macba.cat/uploads/objecthood/objecthood_2.mp3 This podcast is about objects and, more importantly, about some recent new theoretical conceptualisations of objects in contemporary philosophy and art. In this second episode, sound artist *Florian Hecker* discusses the idea of sounds as objects and the notion of decomposition in his recent chimerical pieces, and *Erick Beltrán* addresses different aspects of epistemology, the self and identity that have been part of his artistic practice. *OBJECTHOOD #3 coming up soon, with an interview with Martin Holbraad and an artistic intervention by choreographer Quim Pujol* Enjoy!
