In "Duty Free Art", director and author Hito Steyerl explores how we can appreciate or even create art in the modern age. What can we do when weapons manufacturers finance museums, and some of the most valuable works of art are used as fictional currency in a global future market that has nothing to do with the work itself? Can we distinguish creativity from the digital white noise that bombards us daily? By exploring a variety of artifacts such as video games, Wikileaks files, the spread of spam, and political actions, she reveals the paradoxes hidden in globalization, political economies, visual culture, and the state of art production.
