You missed the whole point of DaDa. DaDa never
pretendeded to be Art. Its intention is antiart.

That is only Duchamp's take on it. If you fail to
notice that Duchamp was a social critic and not an
Artist you surely miss the point of his achievement."
Some DaDa, dada, DADA, and Dada
may have been anti-art, as some Anarchism
for instance, but dada and DaDa have been
huge influences on countless other things
from movies to social reality, which could be called
fairly and accurately, dadaist, going back 80 years
so what is dada what is art
joins what is email what is postering
In this particular city, an anti-postering bylaw
could cause so much postering, and every time
it could stop - even for a second - the people with
urgent neighbourhood things to post would step forth
filling the courts with such postering bylaw import
when the old and daying are left in rooms waiting
and winter after winter people die in the cold
art is what you get to do if you're not dead
and not all of dadaism is against it
