This essay critically engages with Timothy Morton's concept of Hyperobjects, Immanuel Kant's aesthetics and Marcel Duchamp's 'gap'. Through this engagement I have formed links between the intangibility of Capitalist modes of production and physical, artistic labour. by critically analysing how each of these philosophical components work together in an abstract way, I have been able to relate these concepts to physical space through their 'transmissible' qualities. For these investigations of Walter Benjamin's concept of transmission, I explore his theory of 'aura', as an anti-commodity quality in object making.
