Open Forum: Ryan Cullen & Henrik Olai Kaarstein /On the Subject of Reality
In On the Subject of Reality artists Ryan Cullen & Henrik Olai Kaarstein examine the media form of reality television and its brief history.
The talk presents examples from various reality television programs, and deconstructs the philosophical, political, and aesthetic implications of their production and editing techniques.
Through an intersection of psychoanalytic, historical-materialist, and sociological perspectives, Cullen and Kaarstein build a complex critique of populist entertainment and mass psychopathy.
