Constant Dullaart (born 7 March 1979 in Leiderdorp) is a Dutch conceptual artist, media artist, internet artist, and curator.[1] His work examines the cultural and social effects of communication and image-processing technologies, as well as the power structures of major internet corporations.[2]

Biography

[edit]

Dullaart was born and raised in Leiderdorp in the Netherlands. He attended the Gerrit Rietveld Academy from 1997 to 2002.[3] He was a resident at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten from 2007 to 2008.[4] Since 2023, Dullaart has been professor of Networked Materiality at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg.[5]

Dullaart's 2013 work series Jennifer in Paradise uses and reworks the image used as the first photograph to demonstrate Photoshop.[6][7]

He is also known for distributing 2.5 million bought Instagram followers amongst a personal selection of active art-world Instagram accounts.[8]

In 2015, for a four-month durational performance commissioned by Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Dullaart created thousands of fake Facebook profiles using the names of Hessian soldiers from the Hetrina archive[9] of the Landesgeschichtliches Informationssystem Hessen.[10][11]

In 2015, Dullaart received the Prix Net Art.[12]

Selected works

[edit]
  • The Revolving Internet (2010), a browser-based work in which the Google search interface rotates while retaining its functionality.[13]
  • Jennifer in Paradise (2013), a series based on the image used to demonstrate early versions of Photoshop, which Dullaart reworked in digital and physical forms.[14][15]
  • The Death of the URL (2013), a web-based work using an unusually long .xxx domain name as a commentary on changing patterns of navigating the web and the growing role of platforms such as Google and Facebook.[16]
  • High Retention, Slow Delivery (2014), an online social-media intervention in which artificial followers were distributed among users in order to disrupt follower counts as measures of popularity.[17]
