DADA

I have researched the dada movement many times and have grown to become fond of the reasonings behind the reasoning for making this movement. It was a massive change in terms of the art world and it brought a whole new genre to the table with different ideas. In a way they were rebelling against the war through 'non-art' as they called it, they said that they were 'not artists'.
I want to use the style of some of the dada artists in my work for this assignment because I am against this particular advancement in technology and believe that technology will one day run our day to day lives. I will be making a gallery style piece as appose to an advertising style piece which would be pro the advancement of this technology. I would like to add some images that I found most striking from the dada movement. Some of my favourite dada artist are Hannah Hoch, mainly for her use of mechanical pieces in her work and her use of scale, as well as the way she really thinks about the way she layers each element in her collages. The other one of my favourite dada artists is Marcel Duchamp due to his abstract and impacting/ almost humorous style. 

One thing that I really like about the Dada movement was the use of text and numbers as well as photographs in some of the pieces, this is something that I will look to add to my final image if possible.
