Presented by Matt Hale
John Douglas Millar discusses the ethics and aesthetics of docu-art as practised by artists such as Renzo Martens, Harun Farocki and Aernout Mik, and asks: does art’s subjectivity give it a unique angle on the exploitation of tragedy? Andrew Hunt, meanwhile, suggests that optimism and humour are intelligent alternatives to the cynicism of postmodern irony.
