Dada in Motion brings together two artists who channel the restless, irreverent spirit of Dada through the moving image. Michael Walsh’s works, The Disco Pig and The Dust Dress, unfold as hallucinatory montages, weaving archival footage, vintage film fragments, and still images into kaleidoscopic visual essays that unsettle the line between memory and dream. Stephanie Barber’s Letters takes a quieter but equally disjunctive approach, pairing found photographs with fragments of text to form an accidental narrative that resists closure, meaning hovering in the gaps. Together, their works revive Dada’s embrace of chance, absurdity, and estrangement—reminding us that disruption and play remain vital artistic strategies in the age of digital media.
