Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in neutral Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1920. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature (mainly poetry), theatre, and graphic design, and was characterized by a strong anti war politic and rejection of the prevailing standards in art.

Overview

---

Dada activities included public gatherings, demonstrations, and publication of art/literary journals. Passionate coverage of art, politics, and culture filled their publications. The movement was a protest against the barbarism of World War I, the bourgeois interests that Dada adherents believed inspired the war, and what they believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society. The movement influenced later styles, movements, and groups including surrealism, Pop Art and Fluxus. Dada was an international movement, and it is difficult to classify artists as being from any one particular country, as they were constantly moving from one place to another.

Did you know that Pop Art is an expansion of DADAism, except it replaces the ironical components with more common elements from Pop culture.

@cjpberry although that's not to say dadaism isn't authenticity.

@Jhonazir Dadaism wasn't so much ridiculous as it was outlandish. You also have to take it in the context of its contemporary scene.

其實我喜歡跑行程，喜歡去不同的地方，我很懷念大選時可以去不同的地方參觀，那是一種很新奇的體驗，就算一天得去好多個地方，要趕時間追車，我要處理很多行程上和媒體上的事情，就算我愛生氣，但是吃飯的時候我心情都很好。不是因為我愛吃，而是可以跟一群夥伴一起吃飯感覺很好，但現在一點都不好。
