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. *This podcast is part of Re-Imagine Europe, co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union*. *Music commissioned to Stephan Mathieu.

Curated by Chris Cutler <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag>* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world transformed by disorientating technologies. You can find the latest instalment of the series, tackling the issue of noise - and what we mean by it – before examining the toy symphonies and the musical career of the infamous toy piano. <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-23-1-chris-cutler/capsula> *3- SON[I]A #268.
