System of Systems

Adam Lehrer, Matthew Denicola

All culture is propaganda. Everything you hold dear is connected to that which subjugates you. Deconstruct art, culture, and politics, and attempt to understand the pervasive conformism that has saturated it all.

Kanye, Leos, And Contempt For the Middle Class (W/...

System of Systems ·

2021/09/22

In this episode, Adam is joined by Bimbo Ubermensch aka SANDRA and host of the Pleasure Helmet podcast Ilydivna aka Dana to talk about two recent pop culture spectacles equally flawed and fascinating. We are talking about Kanye West's 'DONDA' and the release parties that Kanye threw to celebrate its publication, as well as Leos Carax's new English language Sparks-soundtracked, Adam Driver-starring avant-musical film 'Annette'. While both art works are wildly imperfect, there is something about the

Adam and Ben kick it old school. No guests, all killer, no filler. Topics of discussion include the removal of Ben's wisdom teeth, Benjamin Bratton's Covid totalitarianism advocacy, the rise of a new medical authoritarianism, and the passing of the great musicians Joey Jordison (Slipknot drummer) drummer and Peter Rehberg (electronic music producer PITA).

They're All Gonna Fail (w/ Marc Horowitz)

System of Systems ·

2021/07/29

In this exclusive interview, Adam talks to California-based artist Marc Horowitz (husband to previous guest Petra Cortright, a kind of full circle) to talk about his career and his life. Marc grew up "poor as fuck" in Middle America before moving to California to get a degree in business. One thing leading to the next, Marc eventually transitioned to being an artist after taking a painting class during his senior year. The first half of his career saw Marc staging elaborate conceptual projects that

2021/07/21

Friend of the show and co-host of the Rare Candy podcast Glen Rockney joins the boys to discuss the career of who we think is the best American filmmaker to emerge in the 2010s, S. Craig Zahler. Discussing all three of his films — Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99, and Dragged Across Concrete — the trio pinpoints the artistically interesting formal qualities that have separated Zahler from his contemporaries as one of the emerging film artists to celebrate: extreme length, genre subversion,

2021/07/05

The boys are joined by friend, artist, writer and co-host of the Break the Rules Podcast Gio Pennacchietti to discuss PAINTING. Painting, so much and so little to say. Its history, its dreary present. The tendency towards what Dean Kissick calls "zombie figuration" and what separates the brilliance of Matthew Barney from the average new media artist. But mostly, we discuss four artists to emerge out of postmodernism or later that we believe are upholding some nobler archetype of the painter

Foucault Forgotten (W/ Geoff Shullenberger)

2021/06/29

Our old pal Geoff Shullenberger, writer and critic extraordinaire, is back on System of Systems to discuss his new piece for American Greatness – 'How We Forgot Foucault.' In it, Geoff describes the irony in Foucault's recent dip in citations and his abandonment as a "hero of the modern left," given that during the pandemic so much of Foucault's theories on biopolitics and biopower have proven to be utterly true. We discuss the aspects of Foucault's ideas that have emerged as inconvenient to a left

A long sought-after guest joins System of Systems to discuss a number of artistic, philosophical, and political topics. Adam and the writer, critic and philosopher DC Miller became internet-linked after Adam demonstrated public interest in DC's writing. The result was that Adam was fired from The Quietus, where he wrote a regular column on the noise music underground and critical theory, and lost a number of other writing contracts. How did DC become such a controversial figure? Well, it mostly

Walter Pearce revolutionized casting in the New York fashion industry as the casting director for the early Hood by Air shows before co-founding the Midland Agency. Recently, however, Walter has gotten hella BASED! Off opiates, he felt serious discontent with the liberalism of the fashion industry. He has now been posting memes, throwing bombs, quoting Adam and Benedict Cryptofash, and brings a refreshing perspective to the System of Systems oeuvre.

After a host of media hacks are deployed to fear monger the specter of the post-left, Angie Speaks of the Low Society podcast joins the boys to discuss the histrionics of the pseudo-dissidents, lies, smears, cruelty, the kayfabe, and internet censorious fervor. The temporal loop continues spinning. There is also discussion on religion, spirituality, the occult, christianity, paganism, and David Lynch. We also talk about the divinely kooky Nikole-Hannah Jones' denial of tenure, and the media libs'

Two of our favorite of gal pals, the beautiful Jana Surkova (of the Hate Fiction podcast) and the lovely Zach Langley Chi Chi (of the I'm so Popular podcast) join System of Systems to discuss the flattening of sexuality in cinema and, by extension, the collapse of eroticism in our society. The crew discusses Tumblr aesthetics (Adam comes out of the closet as a once Tumblr user), and their favorite sex scenes in cinema.

Our anon homie Gaye Step Dad comes on the show finally! We talk about the tendency that Step Dad calls "anarchoid neoliberalism," the deliberate incoherence of prison abolitionists, Zero Books publisher Doug Lain's terrible take down video of the Marxist anti-left critique (Aimee, Benedict Cryptofash and otherwise), the new issue of E-flux which is published by transgender "Marxist-feminist" academic McKenzie Wark and the erosion of intellectual thought in America, and we end on an interesting

Artist Petra Cortright joins Adam to discuss discontent with the contemporary art world and her journey from a "girl boss" to a "based and red-pilled girl boss." She emphasizes her romantic notion of an art divorced of politics and social issues, and chronicles her early work with web-cam based self-portraiture and her recent landscape paintings made from Photoshop technology. She also dishes on some of the experiences she had that blackpilled her on the insanity of the political ideology that

To get us out of the depressing discourse loop of contemporary politics, we brought on the Scottish writer, academic, and editor of the exciting experimental lit publisher Hyperidean Press, Udith Dematagoda. We discuss Udith's recent novel, 'Horizontal Rain,' literary nihilism, and the rich history of reactionary ideology throughout early modernism: Céline, Wyndham Lewis, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, Mishima, and more.

Marxist writer and member of the Platypus Affiliated Society Efraim Carlebach joins the show to discuss two essays of his. In one essay, 'Returning to Marxism in the Age of Trump,' Efraim explored the left's defeatist tendencies through the Trump presidency, and 'Forgetting Mark Fisher' is a critique of Mark Fisher's claim to Marxism as well as Fisher's capitulation to the very capitalist realism tendency that he made his career defining.
