		Dadaists embraced the extraordinary, the irrational, and the contradictory largely in reaction to the unprecedented and incomprehensible brutality of World War I (1914-1918).
		Dadaists work was driven in part by a belief that deep-seated European values—nationalism, militarism, and even the long tradition of rational philosophy—were implicated in the horrors of the war.
		Dada is often described as nihilistic—that is, rejecting all moral values; however, dadaists considered their movement an affirmation of life in the face of death.

	Dada defined (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		In their efforts to express the negation of all current aesthetic and social values, the Dadaists frequently used artistic and literary methods that were deliberately incomprehensible.
		To this end, the Dadaists used novel materials, including discarded objects found in the streets, and new methods, such as allowing chance to determine the elements of their works.
		Although the Dadaists employed revolutionary techniques, their revolt against standards was based on a profound belief, stemming from the romantic tradition, in the essential goodness of humanity when uncorrupted by society.

	Unacknowledged Roots and Blatant Imitation
		All of the Dadaists made the case that what we call the “good old days” of the modern era were, in fact, frenzied, irrational, meaningless, and saturated with too much information.
		The Dadaists were radicals who experienced their time as hopelessly out of control, and tried to make the best of it.
		The postmodernists are conservatives who believe that the time of the Dadaists was peaceful and meaningful, who fear the future, and who try desperately (and somewhat successfully) to establish themselves as leaders of the avant garde by repeating the sentiments of a movement that ended more than 70 years ago.

		The movement was, among other things, a protest against the barbarism of the War and what Dadaists believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society; its works were characterized by a deliberate irrationality and the rejection of the prevailing standards of art.
		Dada probably began in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich in 1916 (by some accounts on October 6), and there were active dadaists in New York such as Marcel Duchamp and the Liberian art student, Beatrice Wood, who had left France at the onset of World War I.
		Interestingly, at the same time that the Zürich dadaists were busy making noise and spectacle at the Cabaret Voltaire, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was writing his revolutionary plans for Russia in a nearby apartment.

	dada is a life style, not art
		In the eyes of the dadaists the role of art and the artist was something completely different from the genius who produced works which were not from this planet.

		Centered in Berlin, Paris and Zurich, the Dadaist movement was launched as a reaction of revulsion to the senseless butchery of World War I. "While the guns rumbled in the distance," Arp said, "we had a dim premonition that power-mad gangsters would one day use art itself as a means of deadening men's minds."
