*Link: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/maria-ruido/capsula <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/maria-ruido/capsula>* María Ruido <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/maria-ruido/capsula> talks about the political power of images and the subversive potential of cinematic strategies such as off-screen, voice over, and editing, which help us understand and imagine the world in new ways. She also reflects on the always contradictory relations between the critical and experimental power of culture on one hand, and its institutionalisation on the other. *2 - PROBES #1. Curated by Chris Cutler <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes1_chris_cutler_/capsula>* *Link:* https://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes1_chris_cutler_/capsula In PROBES #1, Chris Cutler sets the scene and investigates early reconsiderations of pitch:probes that postulate new scales to be constructed through the ever-greater subdivision of the inherited intervals of equal temperament. The complete series can be found here: https://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag 3- *SON[I]A #288. Teal Triggs* <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/teal-triggs-main/capsula> *Link: *https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/teal-triggs-main/capsula Teal Triggs talks about the historical background of zines and their key role in generating communities outside of the mainstream. She discusses in particular the Riot Grrrl movement and the language and visual universe that opened up as a result of the cross between music, DIY, activisim, femininity, and feminism in the self-publishing world. *4- SON[I]A #287. Sofía Olascoaga* <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sofia-olascoaga-main/capsula> *Link: *https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sofia-olascoaga-main/capsula In this podcast, Sofía Olascoaga <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sofia-olascoaga-main/capsula> gives an overview of the activist history of Cuernavaca and reflects on how community and self-managed spaces can drive social change, while also looking at the processes of cultural and institutional colonisation by the West in Latin America. Olascoaga also brings to light the historical silencing of the voices of women and indigenous communities under these kinds of processes. *5- SON[I]A #289. John Gerrard <https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-gerrard/capsula>* *Link: *https://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/john-gerrard/capsula Irish artist John Gerrard talks about his initial fascination with 3D scanners and about how they led him to develop his current practice, about his conception of time in art, and a particular way of understanding simulation: somewhere between contemplation and the critical gaze. *+ we highlight this hidden gem in our archive:* *SON[I]A #148. Mark Fisher <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula>* Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/sonia148_mark_fisher/capsula Mark Fisher (RIP) talks about crisis, insurrection and Really Existing Capitalism. 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.' *E/N/J/O/Y*
