Graham Harman is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at
Sci-Arc, the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los
Angeles. He is one of the leading metaphysicians in the
continental tradition of philosophy and an influential
philosopher of art. Robinson and Graham discuss his work at the
forefront of the speculative realist trend in the contemporary
continental world, where he is known for his object-oriented
ontology, or OOO. They also talk about the philosophy of art and
architecture, touching on figures like H.P. Lovecraft and
Duchamp, who Graham has written about extensively in his work.
