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

By going back to the critical moment of the cybernetisation of the museum and of the exhibition, this essay aims to put forward a thesis considering the exhibition as medium.

On the Persistence of the Non-modern

In this essay, philosopher Yuk Hui articulates an alternative route to the impasses of postmodern thought and exposes his critique of other attempts such as the various propositions to uncover national or regional alternative modernities. Most specifically, it is philosopher Enrique Dussel and his notion of the transmodern that are discussed at length, which, for Hui, like most postcolonial discourses, unconsciously undermine the question of technology.
