 nThe Maya Kaqchikel collective Kaqjay wrote an essay titled "Objeto Antiguo
 " or "Ancient Object" where the authors argue that objects are alive and ha
 ve a will\, establish relationships with humans\, and also choose which hum
 ans to engage with and which humans to avoid. Scientists\, particularly in 
 the field of quantum physics\, also argue that matter is intelligent\, that
  it is alive\, and that it is able to self-organize\, to multiply\, to move
 . In this artist lecture\, Cortez explores the spiritual lives of objects a
 s a conceptual nucleus in her work.
