Depuis le 5 février, vous êtes des milliers à avoir changé de vie. Des milliers à avoir installé notre DadaBlock sur votre navigateur moderne (Firefox, Chrome, Safari), qui transforme les méchantes pubs du web en gentilles et véritables réclames Dada. Et depuis ce jour, certains mixent et remixent, capturent leurs écrans comme autant de liberté arrachée.

Dada est Grand et vous êtes ses prophètes! Vous aussi, participez au GrandConcours Dada le #Dadablock Remix! Un seul hashtag et on vous retrouvera: #DadaBlock

For 30 hours, starting Friday, March 4, 2016 at 7 p.m. (Central European Time), Coders, Writers, Artists, Publishers, Plumbers, Designers, Students, Bankers, Stateless Souls, Whistleblowers, and other Art Messengers will be meeting at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich.

They’ll be here from Europe and elsewhere. Some are coming by plane from Argentina and New York. Others are taking the train from Bucharest. Their goal: to create the Digital Dada Manifesto. This is our final Hacktion. It all wraps up with a concert by the Dead Brothers.

Come join us for the next 30 hours! DADA-DATA has its own DADA-CNN. For 30 hours, everything will be broadcast live. With a chat to let you comment, contribute, and participate.

Dada loves you! Dada needs madness, and yours is welcome: dada-data.net

With Twitter, we’re all regulars at the Cabaret Voltaire, chatting about the big, beautiful, absurd world. Maybe we’re talking to each other without answering, and maybe we’re answering each other without listening, but at least we’re all artists on stages of our own making. We’re all fans of broadband performance – the most DADA of all art forms. 

Drop by DADA-DATA to listen in on the living Tweetpoem – the freest chance poem in today’s modern and connected world! To contribute, all you need is one hashtag: #DadaData

“In phonetic poetry, we abandon a language that journalism has corrupted and made impossible. We must go back to the most intimate alchemy of the word, we must abandon even the word, if we are to preserve the most sacred domain of poetry.” Hugo Ball, “Flucht aus der Zeit” (Flight Out of Time), 1927

And don’t forget: you have just one week left to win the DADA object of your dreams, printed live in revolutionary 3D, right in Zurich itself!

Anita, David, and the team 

Dada is an armadillo. Everything is Dada. DADA is Instagram, hip-hip-hip and hollerbam, boom-boom-boom and ratatam, in, stram, gram. Login with Instagram and contribute to the worldwide digital DADA-Gram collage. Or explore the endless canvas, from top to bottom, left to right, bottom to left, like an infinite text written by a thousand hands. Intimate photos, extimate snapshots: mix your moments into the works of the magic DADAs.

The poetry starts here. Add a photo from your personal Instagram account to tell the story of today’s mad, magnificent world. Be wild, be wise, synthesize.

DADA will win! And DADA has won!
DADA is grateful! And DADA-DATA has drawn the first winners in its Connected Readymade draw!

In ten days, over 130,000 of you have visited from around the world. And one in twelve of you took part in the Connected Readymade. Thousands of you dropped in from Old Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland, Croatia, Austria, England, Italy, Denmark, Portugal, Netherlands), valiant Asia (India), the new world (US, Mexico, Canada), and eternal Africa (Morocco)

DADA is delighted! And DADA keeps its word: the first winners will soon receive the 3D readymade of their dreams, printed live at the Cabaret Voltaire and mailed out in discreet and sturdy packages  by DADA-DATA’s new Dada guard: Léa and Guido.

Remember: We will be drawing Connected Readymade winners three times a day! Try your luck today and every day!

First daily draw, held at the historic premises of the Cabaret Voltaire with the masters of the house, Nora Hauswirth and Adrian Notz, and DADA-DATA’s Anita Hugi.

DADA Friends,

This Friday, as promised: a new hacktion on DADA-DATA.NET! It’s the battle of DADA vs. GAFA! Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon, look out: the DADAs are coming. Beware of GAFA!

Experience the epic combat on dada-data.net

With phones in hand, let’s dance against the kings of the world! Let’s dance with our heads held high! Let’s dance till we drop!

And remember: DADA forgets but DADA knows everything! DADA loves you and DADA-DATA.NET has won! In just a few days, 120,000 DADAs from around the world have dropped by our digital cabaret. DADA is not dead, DADA is web!

The hour of battle strikes this Tuesday! It’s DADA against GAFA! Google, Apple, FaceBook, Amazon, look out: the DADAs are coming! Tuesday, at the Landesmuseum in Zurich, DADA-DATA.NET will deploy The Guard, an interactive installation created by Fragment.IN and Superlife. Because Google dominates knowledge, Amazon controls merchandise, Facebook keeps tabs, and Apple takes all, DADA-DATA.NET is declaring war! Let’s dance! Let’s dance with each other and with our marionette, the little sister of the “Military Guards” (1918) by the great DADA artist Sophie Taeuber.

And as of Friday, the dance will be available right here online! Get ready! Use your phone to free yourself from GAFA! Long live wireless! Beware of GAFA!
