Étant Donnés. Stealing life from today

Dada is a movement closely linked to the idea of nihil. Whereas today, everything is movement and life to an immeasurable intensity and at a rate that far exceeds its discretion. I understand Dada as a break, as an intangible direction, not able to move out of place.

Ever how / Despite this, we live the time of globalization, which for, as a consequence, art must be alive, almost able to breathe. Today, the artist himself becomes the object of art - transparent. The contemporary artist is living/extremely present, tangible, ephemeral, fragile - appearances in opposition to what Dada movement (regarding visual arts) meant (was all about) - an object.
