Biography Constant Dullaart
(NL 1979, Rietveld Academie Amsterdam, Rijksakademie Amsterdam)
Trained as a video artist, his work has recently focussed on the Internet and re-contextualizing found material. Working as a so called ‘internet aware’, or ‘post internet’ artist, his work shows the changing vernacular of the contemporary computer user, and how global corporations (google, adobe, apple) control that new language.
