Dear Friends I have done some research on this exhibition while in France. The Pompidou has the catalog and I remember reading an article about the exhibition in an America magazine, either Art News or Art in America. I haave a xerox with me and could include further information. One of the best things that happen during the exhibition was an online writing experiment that I deemed as a pionner work on collective netwriting. It was called "Les Epreuves d'Ecritures". Around 30 writers, philosophers, intellectuals have participated writing about 50 word/concepts put forth by Lyotard, who has not participated during the process but wrote a post-scriptum about the experiment. Derrida, Butor were among the writers. Many more articles were written about "Les Immateriaux" and there are some references to "Writing Proofs" in some books also. Those articles are somewhat hard to find. I will be interested in taking this discussion ahead and exchanging references.
