What is the relevance of Dada and its artistic strategies in our current moment, one marked by post-truth politics, information floods and big data? While it may feel like we are living in a period of anomaly with the rise of the alt-right, this book shows how the Dada movement's artistic response to the aggressive nationalism and fascism of its time offers a fruitful analogy to our contemporary era.Dada's counter-cultural strategies, such as the distortion of reality and attacks on elites and rationality, have long been endorsed by artistic avantgardes and subcultures. How can contemporary art highlight the neglected nuances of cultural representation in the present day?
Bringing together contributions from interdisciplinary scholars, Dada Data details how modern-day movements have appropriated such tactics in their ways of addressing the public both on- and offline.
