Feat. commissioned music by AGF*Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/angela-dimitrakaki-agf/capsula Angela Dimitrakaki talks about the new feminist critique, the limits of democracy, the wiles of post-capitalism, and the ambivalence of the commons.

Enric Farrés Duran *(only available in Catalan) Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/ca/sonia/enric-farres/capsula Enric Farrés parla sobre col·leccionar obsessivament, sobre el valor de l'efímer, sobre l'ús de la mentida com a estratègia creativa, sobre la relació de complicitat amb els que l'envolten i sobre altres facetes del seu treball. *3- OBJECTHOOD #4. Curated by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros*Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/specials/objecthood4-nabil-ahmed-arie-altena-agf/capsula 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. *4- FONS ÀUDIO #38. Dora García (*only available in Spanish) Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/es/especials/dora-garcia/capsula Dora García desarrolla proyectos que tienden al crecimiento infinito recurriendo a prácticas como el teatro invisible, las notas a pie de página o la exploración por serendipia.

Franco Berardi 'Bifo' *Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/franco-bifo-berardi-heroes/capsula Bifo talks about mass killings in relation to cinema, mental health, neuroplasticity, friendship, irony and, ultimately, hope. *6- SON[I]A #201. Georges Didi-Huberman*Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/georges-didi-huberman/capsula Interview with Georges Didi-Huberman about the problems regarding the way in which we see and interpret images, a problematic issue that stems from the definition of what an image is, and from the hierarchy that has historically been imposed on the dialectic between words and images. *7- FONS ÀUDIO #37. Manolo Laguillo* *(*only available in Spanish) Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/es/especials/manol-laguillo/capsula Manolo Laguillo es fotógrafo, ensayista y catedrático de fotografía en la Facultad de Bellas Artes de la Universitat de Barcelona. Sus representaciones urbanas, austeras y despobladas, ilustran los procesos de transformación de las metrópolis contemporáneas. En FONS AUDIO #37 Manolo Laguillo nos habla sobre sus procesos de trabajo con la cámara de gran formato; sobre sus paseos por la periferia; sobre charcos, asfalto y ruinas; sobre las posibilidades del color y el blanco y negro; la sensualidad de la copia en papel; y los vínculos entre música y fotografía. *8- MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH... Steve Stapleton (Nurse with Wound)* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/memorabilia-steve-stapleton/capsula The brainchild of Nurse with Wound shares the main features of a collection that might help us understand the unorthodox nature of his own trajectory, as influential as it is extensive. *9- PROBES #16.

John Chowning * Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-chowning-/capsula John Chowning shares the experience of being a pioneer in a discipline at a time when using computers to generate music was a leap into the void between creative eccentricity and scientific adventure.
