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’.
The work of the Big Dadaists is activist or committed, but at the same time is characterized by a spatial sensory experience. For this they use hybrids between visual art, performance, social design, film, technology, music and theater.
Big Dada 2, DADISM in times of DATISM. The second edition of this Art Manifestation with interactive installations, performances, film, music, tours and talks, throughout the Building of Arti et Amicitiae, Amsterdam. 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?
