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

Biography

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

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

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

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 of the Landesgeschichtliches Informationssystem Hessen.

In 2015, Dullaart received the Prix Net Art.
