*Ràdio Web MACBA most listened podcasts - February 2017 <http://rwm.macba.cat/>**1- PROBES series. 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, exploring the impact of Indian instruments in Western Music here. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula> *2- STAPLES AND INK. Some reflections on the small press boom in the art world <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/small-press/capsula>* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/small-press/capsula Independent publishing is experiencing a boom in the art world. Before the bubble bursts, we speak to *Kit Hammonds* and *Bernhard Cella* <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/small-press/capsula> about the boom, the recovery of supposedly obsolete printing techniques, the risk-aversion of institutional art collections, about professionalisation and about digital generation. 3- ON LISTENING #1 <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/on-listening-1/capsula> Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/on-listening-1/capsula Can we think through listening? Seth-Kim Cohen, Christoph Cox, Julian Henriques, Casey O’Callaghan, Peter Szendy and Salomé Voegelin help us to explore philosophy’s seeming difficulty in grappling with listening and its counterpart – sound – as a powerful deconstructive means to cut through some of the philosophical certainties that underpin classical and modern Western thought. *4- <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula> SON[I]A #148.

In this podcast, he brilliantly analyses the role of the media, the education system, the link between Neoliberalism and brain chemistry, and what he calls business ontology 'in a world in which internment camps and franchise coffee bars co-exist.' 5- *SON[I]A *#234. Merve Elveren <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/merve-elveren-salt/capsula> Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/merve-elveren-salt/capsula Merve Elveren talks about the artistic and archival research at SALT (Turkey) and about research practices in politically turbulent situations, about the archiving paralysis of the eighties, the floundering promises of neoliberalism and the possibilities of reactivating past stories of responsibility and resistance in the present. *Enjoy!* *+ 2 u should not miss! ;-)* *1/ INTERRUPTIONS #6.
