The Dada Factory

There are some people who explain, because there are others who learn. Abolish them and all that's left is dada.

...There are some people who have said: dada is good because it isn't bad, dada is bad, dada is a religion, dada is a poem, dada is a spirit, dada is sceptical, dada is magic, I know dada.

My dear colleagues: good bad, religion poetry, spirit scepticism, definition definition,

that's why you're all going to die,

and you will die, I promise you.

The great mystery is a secret, but it's known to a few people. They will never say what dada is. To amuse you once again I'll tell you something like:

dada is the dictatorship of the spirit, or

dada is the dictatorship of language,

or else

dada is the death of the spirit,

which will please many of my friends. Friends.

--Tristan Tzara (Part IX of DADA MANIFESTO ON FEEBLE LOVE AND BITTER LOVE)

**************************************************
If you came here to find out what it's all about, get lost. If, however, you came here to shake loose the elephants in the cuffs of your pants I encourage you to do so, only make sure that the truculent blues of their eyes stay well in place, if not more so. This is DADA. All others, take your business to the void where it belongs.

@Bloodstalker: I think you have a better chance of understanding Dada when you are drunk.

@VoodooDali: Seriously, what is written above makes no sense - is there an actual idea behind Dada, or is it just schizophrenia on display?

(This is an honest question - I don't mean to sound cheeky or anything.)

I'd say it works for me, but how could I, if it did?

Question Spam = Dada

You all know my view of spam, but just watching you spam up this thread, I can't help but think that it is somehow appropriate to the thread's subject (Dada). I'll bet that whoever invented Dada (if such a person exists) would be very proud to see it's final mutation on the internet: spam.

Yes, indeed. I think I am beginning to understand ...

DADA is a virgin microbe

DADA is against the high cost of living

DADA

limited company for the exploitation of ideas

DADA has 391 different attitudes and colours according to the sex of the president

It changes - affirms - says the opposite at the same time - no importance - shouts - goes fishing.

Dada is the chameleon of rapid and self-interested change.

Dada is against the future. Dada is dead. Dada is absurd. Long live Dada. Dada is not a literary school, howl


People who join us keep their freedom. We don't accept any theories.

Therefore, all drinks are on the house tonight!
