| Summary: | <p>The interview that Ronald Christ made to Muntadas in 1982 is taken as the starting point for the development of two hypotheses about the artist’s work, concerning primarily his work in editing. First, a peculiar notion of the medium is discussed, which would go across the whole work of Muntadas. This idea stresses the two most fashionable approaches to media theory during the 1970s: the so-called Marshall McLuhan’s <em>technophilia </em>and Raymond Williams’ <em>technophobia</em>. On the other hand, the publications made by Muntadas during the 1970s are pointed out here as the true seed from where project-based and dialogical methods would have started to grow, becoming a common feature of all Muntadas’ work from the decade of 1990 on.</p> |
