Series One
In this episode of The New Abnormal, I interviewed Stephen Hayward, an anthropologist and historian.
After completing his PhD at the Royal College of Art, he's worked as a consultant on a number of exhibitions, and has been published widely on design history and theory.
For nearly twenty years, he's been responsible for the critical context element of MA design programmes at Central Saint Martins.
In this podcast, we debate widespread attempts to write history in real time and indeed what the quotes and icons of the future may be, as society looks back to the pandemic.
Along the way, we cover surveillance capitalism, social capital, critical thinking, progress & modernity, tech time vs real time, and a range of contemporary media narratives.
We also discuss why Stephen would like to write an updated version of Camus' The Plague, and, of course, remind ourselves of Bowie in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth'.
So, while I'm dying my hair orange and watching multiple TV's, you can enjoy your coffee while listening!
