Videology 1

Literary Nonfiction. Film. Art. VIDEOLOGY is Louis Armand's broad- ranging critique of realism in film, visual arts and literature. From Nam June Paik's experimental TV to the subversive cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Miike Takashi and Leos Carax; from Naked Lunch to the Cyberfeminist Manifesto; from film noir to the murder of the Real.

VIDEOLOGY is the first volume of a 3-part critique of the ideology of realism across the culture industry, from literature to film, cybernetics and the plastic arts. Its broadly syncretic approach follows the models of Marshall McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller, Karel Teige, and others, and is in keeping with the interdiscisplinarity of the historical avant-gardes and the project of modernity itself.
