BIG DADA ART FESTIVAL
BIG DADA | Dadaism in the age of Dataism
A Interdisciplinary art event throughout Arti et Amicitiae
 
Exhibition - Club Dada Soirées - film - interactive installations - performances - symposium - lectures - Art & Science Symposium - guided tours

Big DaDa explores the role of art in a world driven by data and algorithms. At a time when technology influences our thinking and actions. Big DaDa offers a new perspective in response to the absurdity of the present. The event explores how creators respond to this digital reality of social media, bots and subversive information networks, and what strategies they use to resist systems based on assumptions. In other words: what does it mean to be human in the age of artificial intelligence?

We offer an extensive program on three Friday evenings, Club DaDa Soirees, aimed at young creators, regular visitors and professionals within digital culture. In collaboration with partners, these events offer space for exploration and experimentation. In addition, this year's Art & Science Symposium occupies a special place with hackers, scientists and artists.

“Alles is dada. Slechts de dadaïsten zijn niet dada. Wanneer immers de dadaïsten dadaïsten waren, dan zouden de dadaïsten geen dadaïsten zijn"

‘Dada’, Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, 1923

Hugo Ball, founder of the DaDa movement, wrote already in 1916: 'men have been confused with machines'. Anarchist Dadaism flourished as an international art movement a century ago and emerged as a cynical response to the WWI. Anti-art, coincidence, freedom and absurdity played a major role in their work.
