In an era when technology, biology, and culture are becoming ever more closely connected, The Dada Cyborg explains how the cyborg as we know it today actually developed between 1918 and 1933 in Berlin. Matthew Biro examines how Weimar Dada artists—like Hannah Höch, Raoul Hausmann, George Grosz, John Heartfield, Otto Dix, and Rudolf Schlichter—envisioned hybrid identities, radical forms of perception and embodiment, and the emergence of a “new human” through photomontage, assemblage, painting, and performance. Biro offers an interdisciplinary analysis of cyborg imagery as expressive of utopian hopes, post-war trauma, techno-cultural critique, gender and race, and the modern individual in media-saturated society.
