Description
Thirty years after the groundbreaking exhibition Les Immatériaux, this book brings together a previously unpublished report by Jean-François Lyotard on the conception of the show and its relation to postmodernity. The report is accompanied by twelve contemporary meditations from leading philosophers, art historians, and artists, who reflect on the significance of the exhibition and the new material conditions brought about by digital technologies.
The exhibition, held at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in 1985, was a pioneering event that showcased the impact of telecommunication technologies on everyday life. This book provides a unique insight into the historical significance of Les Immatériaux and its relevance to our understanding of the postmodern condition.
Featuring contributions from Bernard Stiegler, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, Anne-Elisabeth Sejten, and Jean-Louis Boissier, among others, this book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the exhibition's enduring influence on media and theory.
