The Medeology Collective created a performance/academic paper hybrid that demonstrated some of the major aspects of spectacle culture. This involved using video projections of visual and auditory content that produced a novel form of theory as practice. This praxis based work examined the contemporary changes in how public art as spectacle has become a dominant paradigm in exhibition and practice. Guy Debord in his seminal book ‘Society of the Spectacle’ laid the basis for understanding how capital becomes image in modern society. Debord’s book is still very pertinent even though it was written in the late 1960's. The performance was a parody of the corporate Powerpoint presentations of the business world. By conducting this work we intended to spectacularize the academy and throw new light into the workings of how the spectacle operates as a condensation of monetary, ideological and political power.
