The Object Strikes Back: An Interview with Graham Harman
At a time when many design professionals concern themselves with designing interactions, experiences, and services, it seems timely to reconsider the role of objects in design. This interview with philosopher Graham Harman offers a summary of his thinking about objects and uses it to reconsider their role in design. Strongly influenced by Martin Heidegger and Bruno Latour, Harman's philosophy is object-oriented in that it treats objects as real but with hidden depths. In the interview Harman describes how objects have been treated in philosophy and what his approach does instead. One implication is to question the idea that design is unproblematically human-centered.
