Dada and the Destruction of Logos, Zurich 1916
  (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
And for Hugo Ball in particular war was nothing less than the destruction of the Word (logos), the ‘magical’ nature of which was in its connection to ancient texts that contained the ‘plaintive words’ that no human mind could resist (Ball, 1996: 66).
Hugo Ball, the principal founder of the Zurich Dada group, would have no truck with the issuing of manifestos, or with any other propagandist work (which seemed to emulate the activities of futurism), but this was eagerly taken up by others, such as Tristan Tzara, and then exported to a variety of other European cities
What Ball and the others sought to achieve at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916 was a way past this abstraction to a synthesis of the arts that would surpass the mimetic and representational limitations of mediation and traditional artistic practice (whether in writing, painting, or poetry).

If Ball's actual homoerotic longings were buried under meaningless and overdramatic gestures of violence (he reportedly followed around his future wife, Emmy Hennings, and her handsome lover with a revolver in his pocket), clearly he lived a virtual sexual life through language.
Hammer is not simply excavating the esoteric and homoerotic threads of Ball's novel; he is interrogating the postmodern art world, the distortion of its Dada legacy, and its desire for carny thrills and cheap mysteries.
