In the early 20th century, a group of Italian and Swiss artist revolted by the horrors of WWI started making art by rejecting traditional art values, such as rationality, beauty and logic. They explored randomness and absurdity and pave the way to conceptual and surreal art. Many artists explored with incorporating random process in the generation of their art.
One of the triumph of the current times is the development of smart chatbots, the most famous of them being chatGPT. That chatbot uses the latest advances of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to produce careful responses to any question from the user. Dada artist that often displayed readymade pieces of art taking daily objects and putting them out of context in an art gallery would probably love the tools we have at our disposal.
This project is a rejection to the smartness and rational thinking of modern by being a chatbot that produces random (but English like) response to the users input. Each prompt has a unique answer. The work democratizes the access to Dadaist art by giving a short dadaist text. It also makes the viewer participate in the creation of the art by requiring its input.
In a Dadaist move the name "AvantGarble" was chosen by chatGPT.
