? #ConstantDullaart has been exploring the internet as a medium since the early 2000s. With works such as “Youtube as a sculpture” (2009) [https://youtu.be/yGvWL7Vb7I8] – a sculptural rendition of the “loading” animation on YouTube – the audience is implicated in the piece through commenting, reinterpreting and reposting it on various social platforms. The exhibition NEIN.GAG re-contextualizes his work “DVD guy: Humans Saver” (2010) [https://youtu.be/nKLcfvpwq5c] within the Panke.gallery space.This work – a #webcam#performance – bridges the gap between two different forms of media, the #internet and the #DVD, and the reaction of the pubic has recently culminated in the creation of a popular internet meme “this DVD guy” [https://youtu.be/gBT8gdTEAg4 | https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqS7-WDjDG | https://www.instagram.com/p/BrpjyMAH0it | https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnmrMRHQku].
