Casper de Jong  -interdisciplinary artist


“Boutjes, moertjes, stekkertjes, snoertjes”
(De Huilende Rappers)

                Casper de Jong explores what connects and moves us as humans through his playful interactive work. Combining theatre, ethics and complex human emotions, Casper’s artistic practice offers a light-hearted approach to the conversation around the integration of technology into our lives and minds. In doing so, he provokes people to reflect on the good and the dangerous sides of technology.

Through his interactive work, Casper explores what moves us. Having a background in theatre, he does so from a dramaturgical perspective, moving among the debates surrounding technological
developments and the ethics behind them. His perspective is always unique in how he sheds a
playful light on both the good and the dangerous sides of technological development.


Casper’s graduation work ‘The Factory of the Future’ (2017) was nominated for the ‘Gemeente Utrecht Prijs (Utrecht municipality price, where the 5 best projects from every graduating art student were chosen) and right after designed and curated an exhibition for the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. At the beginning of 2018 the exhibition ‘ROBOTS’ opened in de Vrijstaat, which Casper designed together with SETUP. His self-playing robotic flute (2018) was displayed in the museum Speelklok, Utrecht, from September 2018 until March 2019. In November 2018 the installation ‘SWEATSHOP’ premiered, which he made together with fashion designer Floortje Wijnands as part of the project ‘Installation48’ commissioned by Oneseconds and SETUP. In 2019 he started to work on a pottery robot based on the pottery scene in Ghost(1990) as part of the year program ‘Unchained Melodies’ by SETUP. Multiple new autonomous projects started in 2018 and 2019. Casper does occasional readings and workshops about Robots, robots and society and robots in schools, etc.
