Digital Dadaism is a contemporary movement that combines the principles of Dada, an early 20th-century art movement that prized irrationality, nonsense, and anti-bourgeois protest, with modern digital technologies. Digital Dadaists use tools like digital media, software, and the internet to create artworks that often challenge traditional concepts of art and aesthetics, embracing absurdity, randomness, and the critique of contemporary culture, especially digital culture and consumerism.
This form of art often manifests through various mediums such as digital collage, video, audio, and interactive installations. It reflects a critical and satirical approach to digital technology’s role in society, questioning the norms and functionalities of digital communication and the consumption of media.
