It has been commonplace in experimental writing to focus on discourse, text, culture, consciousness, or power as the main constituents of reality. Nevertheless humanity remains at the centre of these works, and reality appears only as the correlate of human thought.  Here we speculate about the nature of reality independent of thought and humanity to ask whether the "object" can speak? Can we write from its place, rather than our own?  What do objects have to tell us?  Who is able to hear them? Indeed, what can be an "object" be?

Vincent Dachy: "Should objects be despised?"
Joon Oluchi Lee: "Like a Statuette" 
Matias Viegener: "Spooky Friends"
