DADA

"I destroy the drawers of the brain and of social organization: spread demoralization wherever I go and cast my hand from heaven to hell, my eyes from hell to heaven, restore the fecund wheel of a universal circus to objective forces and the imagination of every individual." -Tristan Tzara
The DaDa movement was an act of rebellion from an underground sick and tired of the world around them. It was a questioning of status quo and mocked all seriousness of such a thing.
Tristan Tzar transported ideas into the sounds they made, he gave meaning to gibberish and therefore made fun of meaningful things.
A believer in prgress Tzara thought that the absurdist ideals would be a luanching point for new ways of thought to step in. He created an open door in art for nonsense and daydreams.
