EVER-CHANGING CHAINS OF WORK
In conversation with Constant Dullaart

For Constant Dullaart the Internet serves as a medium as well as a subject
of artistic production. His main strategy is the exploration of the
multifaceted languages of contemporary images circulating on the Internet
and their re-contextualisation as found material in a medium of its own.
With his artworks the Amsterdam- and Berlin-based artist digs deeply into
the caches of a networked cultural production without limiting the medium to
simple technological traits: the default style of Web-based platforms, their
widespread and often un-scrutinised use as well as the popularity of
globally uniformed interfaces are manipulated with the aim to investigate
their social potential.

Dullaart’s practice ranges from art made with and for self explaining domain
names such as "The Revolving Internet .com" or "The Sleeping Internet .com"
and video works such as "YouTube as a Subject" as well as the adoption of
this series of short loops for the real space under the title "YouTube as a
Sculpture." Furthermore he deals with site-specific installations such as
"Multi Chanel Video Installation", where projector mounts where borrowed
from art institutions and brought to an exhibition space to serve as
sculptural elements as well as he deals with digitally manipulated images as
in the series "No Sunshine" where he applies the Photoshop default
techniques to removed the sun out of romantic sunset pictures found on
Flickr.
