His study of art is motivated by what he calls communicology. Artworks are objects informed by artists in order to inform viewers. Artworks are discursive media. Their messages can be received only one-sidedly and are, moreover, difficult to understand. Art is no longer equal to the task of explaining and producing reality. This role has been taken over by the mass media and technologically reproduced cultural goods. For art to become important again, artists will have to occupy both mass media channels of communication and the apparatuses of communication.
