Dadaism:
- an early 20th Century artistic expression that rejected logic and
embraced chaos and irrationality. It was a movement intended as
protest "against a world of mutual destruction." ( ~George Grosz, Dadaist)

Dadaism redux:
- political expression as an outgrowth of the artistic movement a century
earlier. Also rejects logic in favor of chaos and irrationality, but with
one minor difference from its predecessor: it is a movement intended
to promote a world of mutual assured destruction. (Dada 'dada')
Example:
Dada in government: Shown here as it manifests in sandstone and
marble in a fine blend with FOX News -- often the media of choice.

it's a m.a.d. world, fer sure.
ok so I've been looking at the urinal and wondering why it was titled the fountain. is it some inuendo about what we drink in? cuz I thought dadaism had no meaning. yet I sense some undercurrent in the fountain and suddenly have a concern about a possible undertow.
d.k. "a possible undertow" (in the fountain?) How wonderfully delicious, er, "Dada" that was. And I think you're right. It has absolutely no meaning...lest it be juxtaposed to the "logic and rationality" of the world in which we live.
