Prompt 1.
In our reading, Morton defines hyperobject as “objects of such massive scale and
temporality that they exceed the perceptive capacities of humans” with examples such as
global warming and neoliberalism.
Considering the ideas I am experimenting with my
work. I started to wonder if superstitions, traditions, and history can be
viewed as a form of hyperobject.

I do not see the work I created as hyperobject, but the container that holds the hyperobject
that exist in my culture. The education system, social hierarchy, social
expectation are things that were created by humans but are too large to think
about.

Prompt 2.
According to our
reading, OOO is a popular movement in contemporary philosophy characterized by
a rejection of anthropocentrism (the privileging of the human over the
nonhuman), and "correlationism", the post-Kantian assumption that
reality is a product of human thinking.”
OOO argues that
what we think are unique about human are not for human only.
I think OOO has
a lot to do with sculpture because if we started to think of the world as
object oriented rather than human oriented then what are we doing to the
materials that we altered and turned into what we so called “sculpture”? We turned these
materials into something meaningful for “us”, but
what about for the material themselves? Is the wood I picked out from Lowes
wood, or is that just something us humans categorize it as?
