Description
#DigitalDada: What happens when the artist…meets the app? The inter-war avant-garde art movement DADA is celebrating its centennial, but never has it been more relevant. Just as the Dadaists like Marcel Duchamp, Tristan Tzara and Max Ernst made us rethink what art was and who an artist could be, digital technology has democratized both the production and distribution of creative work. Moreover, in this exponentially changing world, thinking like an artist is essential. This workshop explores why that is so, and offers participants a chance to tinker with Dadaist and Surrealist techniques using powerful apps in innovative ways. How can concepts such as Chance, Assemblage, Exquisite Corpse, Montage, and Readymade be used learners to further their thinking, or leaders to amplify a message? We will work in a hybrid environment, mixing the analog with the digital. All you will need is a mobile device – that multi-media studio in your pocket
