Magnus Bärtås states, “I believe that art, or rather the impulse to produce art, often comes from not understanding. When today, I look at humourous programmes on television and fail to laugh a single time, not even smile, I become obsessed with the question of why I do not think the programme funny when numerous other people do. Perhaps I do not belong to the target audience. Nor do I believe that there is a consensus about what is humour. But the thing is that in these cases there is no boundary zone. I can hardly understand this humour even theoretically. I am spurred on by this feeling of autism...[This was] the starting point for the exhibition The Conspiracy...: that the world at large had agreed to$a treaty behind one’s back and that you want to communicate to the world around the appalling truth that you have discovered.
