Constant Dullaart’s practice explores how social and cultural values reverberate in tools and technology. Dullaart creates works to emphasise an enjoyable friction between old and new, manual and automated, online and offline, real or not. He deconstructs and analyses the specific human circumstances under which technological instruments are created, and how this influences the way the instruments are consequently used. His practice ranges from AI models, to start-ups, virtual armies and custom agents to websites, custom social media and conventional media. Dullaart is the founding professor of Networked Materialities at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nürnberg.
