Jonas Lund and Constant Dullaart

"Can't name one, we have to name two: Jonas Lund and Constant Dullaart, who both very critically reflect on the changes in society due to technology on a very different level, but in very smart ways. They're both really important right now."

ABOUT

Jonas Lund (1984, Sweden) creates paintings, sculptures, photographs, websites, and performances that critically reflect on contemporary networked systems and power structures. His artistic practice often involves setting up systems and parameters that require audience participation, resulting in performative works governed by algorithms or sets of rules. Through his work, Lund explores pressing issues arising from the increasing digitalization of society - such as authorship, participation, and the distribution of agency - while simultaneously questioning the mechanisms of the art world, including production processes, authority, and market dynamics.

Constant Dullaart (1979, Netherlands) explores how social and cultural values echo through tools and technology. His work highlights a playful friction between old and new, manual and automated, online and offline, real and artificial. By deconstructing the human contexts in which technological instruments are created, he reveals how these contexts shape their use. Dullaart investigates these dynamics through projects like common.garden, his own artisanal social media platform. Returning to his research into neural networks, he examines how phenomena such as glossolalia and apophenia can serve as bridges between humans and machines. He is Professor of Networked Materialities at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Nuremberg.
