Dada and its artistic strategies have gained renewed relevance in our current moment, characterized by post-truth politics, information floods, and big data. This book explores how contemporary art can highlight the neglected nuances of cultural representation in the present day. While it may seem like we are living in a period of anomaly with the rise of the alt-right, the Dada movements' 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 avant-gardes and subcultures. Dada Data details how modern-day movements have appropriated such tactics in their ways of addressing the public both on- and offline. Bringing together contributions from interdisciplinary scholars, curators, and artists working in global contexts that explore an array of artistic modes of persuasion and resistance, the book demonstrates how contemporary art can bring out neglected nuances of our post-truth moment. In linking the Dada movements' counter-cultural activities to modern phenomena such as post-internet art, information floods, and big data mining, the book collates original propaganda with diverse artwork from such figures as Hannah Höch, Paula Rego, Tschabalala Self, Sheida Soleimani, and South African artists donna Kukama and Kemang Wa Lehulere. In doing so, Dada Data brings together a rich scrapbook of Dada resources and perspectives that are highly relevant to present-day political concerns. With artistic contributions by IOCOSE, donna Kukama, Kemang Wa Lehulere, and Montage Mädels, Dada Data offers a unique and insightful exploration of the relevance of Dada and its artistic strategies in our current moment.
