An Evening With: Constant DullaartAn Evening With: Constant Dullaart

For a more extensive description of the event, please see the Dutch version of this page.

Constant Dullaart lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin. Exploring how social and cultural values reverberate in tools and technology, Dullaart creates works that highlight a pleasurable friction between old and new, manual and automated, online and offline, real and unreal. He deconstructs and analyses the specific human circumstances under which technological tools are created, and how this influences the way the tools are subsequently used.

Dullaart explores these processes through the creation of his own ‘artisanal’ social media platform, common.garden. Drawing on his research into neural networks, he investigates how phenomena such as glossolalia (speaking in tongues) and apophenia (patternicity, or seeing patterns in unrelated events) can bridge the gap between humans and technology. Dullaart is Professor of Networked Materialities at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nuremberg.

This event is part of LI-MA’s two-day symposium Transformation Digital Art 2024: Legacies.
