Global index of the decay of the aura of language, the Dadameter aims at measuring our distance to Dada. It was inspired by the work of the french writer Raymond Roussel.

The project is a satire about the recent transmutation of language into a global market ruled by Google et al. and uses the most up-to-date technologies of control to draw cartographies of language at large scale.

May 5 to 14, 2008: my new project, the Dadameter, is exhibited in Madrid at the Rencontres Paris-Berlin-Madrid pour l’art contemporain et le nouveau cinéma, in the section “Data Meanings” which includes works by Christophe Bruno, Claude Closky, mi_ga, JoDi, Riccardo Iglesias, Joan Leandre, Michael Takeo Magruder, Rybn, Übermorgen.
