TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM Take a newspaper. Take some scissors. Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem. Cut out the article. Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag. Shake gently. Next take out each cutting one after the other. Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag. The poem will resemble you. And there you are - an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd.* ________________________________________________________________________ * Example: when dogs cross the air in a diamond like ideas and the appendix of the meninx tells the time of the alarm programme (the title is mine) prices they are yesterday suitable next pictures/ appreciate the dream era of the eyes/ pompously that to recite the gospel sort darkens/ group apotheosis imagine said he fatality power of colours/ carved flies (in the theatre) flabbergasted reality a delight/ spectator all to effort of the no more 10 to 12/ during divagation twirls descends pressure/ render some mad single-file flesh on a monstrous crushing stage/ celebrate but their 160 adherents in steps on put on my nacreous/ sumptuous of land bananas sustained illuminate/ joy ask together almost/ of has the a such that the invoked visions/ some sings latter laughs/ exits situation disappears describes she 25 dance bows/ dissimulated the whole of it isn't was/ magnificent has the band better light whose lavishness stage music-halls me/ reappears following instant moves live/ business he didn't has lent/ manner words come these people

Marcel Duchamp talks with Martin Friedman, Walker Art Center director (1961-1990), about the readymade. October 18, 1965 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYqDpNmnu8I
Marcel Duchamp, L.H.O.O.Q. (1919)
Starting in 1997, Rhonda Roland Shearer began publishing research that seemed to show that Duchamp had in fact altered in important and interesting ways all of his readymades – originals that actually corresponded to the readymades could not be found and in some cases were impossible. The Mona Lisa (original no longer available) seems to have been a repainting that made the face closer to Duchamp’s in details aar from the moustache and goatee.

After World War II, there is a recycling of the movements that came before World War I – an unacknowledged appropriation? Americanization (and popularization) of the pre-WWII movements (dada, surrealism, Duchamp’s conceptual art)

Cut-ups. Archival recording of William S. Burroughs and sound experiment of BrionGysin, animated by MattiNiinimäki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc2yU7OUMcI
From the early 1970s, David Bowie has used cut-ups to create some of his lyrics. This technique influenced Kurt Cobain's songwriting. Thom Yorke applied a similar method in Radiohead's Kid A (2000) album, writing single lines, putting them into a hat, and drawing them out at random while the band rehearsed the songs.
