Oval - Is Reciprocity in Our Nature?

Update: 2021-03-25

Description

We had a great time talking about Oval, by Elvia Wilk. It's a complicated little story about being an artist in Berlin and watching as the world around you burns, or turns.

Discussions:

- Leftism's "call to action"

- Reciprocity vs. Transactions

- The Relationship Between Hi-Tech and Art

- How Tech Falls Apart

- Human Nature and Economics

References:

"Hauntology" is discussed in Derrida's "Spectres of Marx"

We mention a video by the great youtube channel space commune, about art and gentrification:
