The term “videology” therefore covers a nexus of aesthetic/ideological forms – from Jeremy Bentham’s “Panopticon” and the widespread emergence of image technologies during the industrial revolution (photography, cinema), to “Big Bother,” “virtual reality,” and the discourse of post-humanism.

The author will present the first and second volume of a 3-part critique of the ideology of realism across the culture industry, from literature to film, cybernetics and the plastic arts. From Nam June Paik’s experimental TV to the subversive cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Miike Takashi & Leos Carax from Naked Lunch to the Cyberfeminist Manifesto from film noir to the “murder of the Real.” Videology is Louis Armand’s broad-ranging critique of realism in film, visual arts and literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With flesh and bone bodies, a sport like this would be impossible.
