Object-oriented writing

The genesis of object-oriented writing was Jeppesen's desire to fuse the creative and critical aspects of literary work into a single hybrid form.

In addition, the Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist has drawn connections between object-oriented writing and Timothy Morton's notion of the hyperobject.

[6] While he had published several texts of object-oriented writing previously on his website and in selected art and literary publications, 16 Sculptures is considered to be Jeppesen's first major work in the genre.

The style of the resulting texts ranges considerably, including monologues, dialogues, rants, songs, poems, and epiphanies, among other, more hybrid or inventive forms, all of them evasive of the tropes of traditional art criticism.

"[12] Writing about the 2014 Whitney Biennial, the Bibliographical Society of America noted, "Jeppesen dematerialized the sculptures and brought them back into the realm of ideas."
