Art Manifestation 20.10 - 4.11 Arti et Amicitiae
Artists 2023
Program 2023
|
Big DaDa is an interdisciplinary art festival with exhibitions, performances, soirées, talks, tours and workshops.
Big DaDa is the 2nd manifest about art and the power of imagination in the current data age. With the pressing questions; What does it mean to be human as we merge with advanced technologies? Is there a limit to being human, and what makes us human?
This edition showcases the new 'religion' with man as child and machine and Big DaDa as a prophet. The manifestation revolves around the power of both data and DaDa; the defensive weapon.
The exhibition shows the physical translation of matrix thinking and plays with control, coherence, illogic and coincidence. Big DaDa is an interactive 'trail' for visitors, thinkers and makers with disruptive and progressive installations at the intersection of visual art, theater, design and science. The Big DaDaists respond as influencers to today's society in which digital culture, new technology and the autonomous imagination merge into a new revolution and 'faith'.

“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.
