About

Cor Langerak creates installations and performative environments that emerge from an inquiry into technological media. His work examines how digital systems mediate perception, often constructing situations in which technology behaves in unexpectedly fragile, paradoxical, or self-revealing ways. Through complex arrangements of video, reflection, sensors, and artificial intelligence, he creates spaces in which each medium exposes its own logic—and its limits. Rather than framing technology solely as threat or spectacle, he approaches it as both vulnerable and expressive: a material that discloses the shifting relationship between humans and machines. The philosophical tensions within this symbiosis form the foundation of his practice. “I want to foreground the vulnerability of technology and the unstable ways it coexists with us,” he notes. “My installations stage this relationship as something uncertain, affective, and constantly negotiated.” Born in Rome in 2000 and raised in Amsterdam, Cor speaks Dutch, Italian, and English. He graduated from the Toneelacademie Maastricht – Institute of Performative Arts in 2022, where he began developing his media-installation practice alongside his ongoing work as an actor. He currently lives and works in Rome.
