As Paradigm’s second release, “Man vs. Machine” is largely set in Berlin and features contributions from several denizens of the New Models sphere, we invited Kat to come on the podcast to discuss the ideas—the state of fashion & media, machine learning, creative agency, and our neo-anthroposophic age—that underpin the issue's concept.

Unlocked | NM56 The Para-Real w/ Cade Diehm of New Design Congress

Digital design theorist CADE DIEHM joins NM to discuss his new paper, “The Para-Real: A Manifesto” (published via C/O Berlin and New Design Congress), which gives language to a zone that’s become increasingly prevalent as digital spaces merge into continuous territories. The Para-Real is not the “metaverse,” Cade argues, but a fertile, momentary form of consciousness where the physical here-and-now falls away. We discuss what this state produces in users and speculate on nth order effects as the Para-Real scales. For more: Cade Diehm is founder of The New Design Congress, an international research organization forging a nuanced understanding of technology's role as a social, political and environmental accelerant. Cade’s personal work can be accessed via https://shiba.computer.

Unlocked | Model Shock w/ Emmelyn Butterfield-Rosen (NM48)

By the end of the 19th century, cascading developments in science, theory, and philosophy were radically challenging the way Western society understood what it means “to think” — and how, in turn, this contemporary sentient human could be depicted. EMMELYN BUTTERFIELD-ROSEN, a scholar of late-19th and early-20th century art, and associate director of the Williams Graduate Program in the History of Art at the esteemed Clark Art Institute joins us to discuss her new book, “Modern Art & The Remaking of the Human Disposition” (U. Chicago Press, 2021), which brilliantly and with astonishing depth explores not just the shifts in artistic conventions during this time, but also the emergent cybernetic processes that catalyzed it.
