– Interdisciplinary artist
OVERABOUT
Casper de Jong is an interdisciplinary artist and master prototyper from Utrecht who works within the fields of technology, visual art and theatre.
Through a light-hearted approach, Casper takes technology out of its original context and shows how strange our connections with technology often get. Whether it is through building robots that endlessly perform the same task, an installation that constantly tracks his own mobile screen time or a flute that whistles a tone based on its user’s facial emotions.
Casper’s work invites you to think about your relationality with technology by focusing on the element of play. Through play, we can open up, and feel freer to explore and interact with our surroundings in new ways.
Building upon the concept of the ‘homo luden’ Casper’s works highlights the often overlooked aspects of technology that lend it to become a creative and playful tool.
In executing his artistic practice Casper often realises full exhibitions in which a specific theme is dealt with. Within these exhibitions Casper often situates elements of play and wonder, in doing so Casper questions the standards we have come to associate with the gallery.
Casper exhibited internationally multiple times, and troughout his home country, the Netherlands. Varying from solo/duo exhibitions, group exhibitions, festivals, and performances.
Casper really dislikes writing ‘about’ pages or a biography.
