Increasingly my work is about seepage, porous boundaries, our physical entanglements. This is underneath the environment I’m working on back in the home studio. . . . . #artgrad2020 #laurenlevatocoyne #newmaterialism #speculativerealism #oof #paintersofinstagram @cranbrookpainting @cranbrook_art (at Ferndale, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AY26XFDqg/?igshid=1ekhr2kbqdq4a

Just arrived HUMANKIND by @tim303 - meanwhile our beloved author is in Houston, smack in the middle of one of the most epic flood events in recent history. Not to mention, Amazon doing their best here to cause more flooding through their amazing efficiency in packing. #humankind #timothymorton #anthropocene #ooo #speculativerealism #thebeginningoftheend (at South Slope, Brooklyn)

Later in the twentieth century, writers such as Gabriel García Márquez developed a writing that incorporated elements of magic and paradox. In magic realist narratives, causality departs from purely mechanical functioning, in part to resist the seeming inevitability of imperialist “reality,” in part to give voice to unspeakable things, or things that are almost impossible to speak according to imperialist ideology. Realist Magic argues that reality itself is not mechanical or linear when it comes to causality. Indeed, causality is a secretive affair, yet out in the open—an open secret. Causality is mysterious, in the original sense of the Greek mysteria, which means things that are unspeakable or secret. Mysteria is a neuter plural noun derived from muein, to close or shut. Mystery thus suggests a rich and ambiguous range of terms: secret, enclosed, withdrawn, unspeakable. [...] Things are encrypted. But the difference between standard encryption and the encryption of objects is that this is an unbreakable encryption. “Nature loves to hide” (Heraclitus).

Timothy Morton is exactly right: "This is the sort of thing that makes you very happy to be Graham's friend. I don't know that many people who can talk like that from index cards. Actually I don't know anyone who can do that, to that level." This is also a perfect introduction to the world of Harman.
