Stephen Muecke on Beauty and Objects

This is a nice video by an excellent scholar. He says he's “not convinced” by OOO (although to be into hyperobjects IS to be convinced by it!). But this seems awfully OOO to me! And quite unlike the speculative realism his future conference seems to be about. That kind eschews beauty as a “pathetic” accident of (human) sentience.
