The Exhibition as Medium: Some Observations on the Cybernetisation of the Institution and the Exhibition

In 'Qu'appelle-t-on un mdium?' ('What is called a medium?'), theorist Pascal Krajewski offers a useful summary of the possible meanings of the term medium, without being able to decide between them, on the basis of a detailed discussion of the notions of the concept, notably in Marshall McLuhan and Rgis Debray. From these two authors, two approaches to the medium can be articulated, one materialist and technical, the other more symbolic and anthropological.
