MEDIA-ENHANCED ACADEMIC AND ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE
DOCTORATE
IN HUMANITIES, THESIS DEFENSE
LOUIS
LIARD AUDITORIUM, UNIVERSITY OF PARIS-SORBONNE
18 JANUARY 1985
For
the defense of his doctoral thesis on “Sociological
Art, the Esthetics of Communication, and Artistic Communication”
the artist turns the formal thesis defense ritual into a work
of art—a video-enhanced performance that uses the members
of the jury (Abraham Moles, Bernard Teyssèdre, Jean
Duvignaud, Dominique Nogues, and Frank Popper) as its main
objects. The work illustrates several of the points made in
the thesis itself including the meta-communicational function
of artistic media hybrids and the esthetic properties of the
new forms of space and time created by electronic media.
