Marshall McLuhan works on display

By Reem Kodmany

If “the medium is the message” Marshall McLuhan delivered it first – and according to Toronto artist Will Lemaitre, his work is still relevant 40 years after his death.

“People consider him a prophet in describing very accurately the world and how it would evolve in the context of the technological development of the Internet,” Lemaitre said in reference to the “Feedback 4: Marshall McLulan and the Arts” exhibition, part of a travelling exhibit made possible by Detroit’s College of Creative Studies.

McLuhan is universally regarded as the father of communications and media studies and prophet of the information age. The exhibit features McLulan’s radical, experimental publications, including archival materials from McLuhan’s publishing practice, as well as current artistic interpretations of social cybernetics and video installations.

“People consider him a prophet in describing very accurately the world and how it would evolve and it becomes in the projection of the technological development of the Internet,” Lemaitre continued.

“ He is a giant in the world thought and culture and an astute observer of technology and history influence.”
