Lotte Louise de Jong [1989] is a media artist from the Netherlands with a background in filmmaking. Her work is research-based and ranges from physical, digital and online installations to more traditional forms of narrative.

The main thematics in Lotte’s research are identity and sexuality. More specifically her practice addresses how we, as a society, view and shape our identity and inctimacy through mediated spaces like the digital world.

She approaches her practice as a free space; a place where morality gives way to nuance, humor and empathy. In her work, she investigates the way we view online (sexual) culture and our own positions within, while remaining critical of the social, cultural and economic structures that create inequality inside and outside this sphere of online intimacy. By treating subjects with subversive humor, she tries to entice the viewer to ask questions, which are embedded in the her approach, but not in a dogmatic way.
