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.

It was co-produced by the Rencontres Paris-Berlin-Madrid 2008 for contemporary art and new cinema. Concept: Christophe Bruno - programming: Valeriu Lacatusu
