1. This music is superb!!!8:00

2. A BIG thank yew for posting this video…

   I discovered Dadaism while paging through my "History of Art" tome during my freshman year of college… I soon realized how well I could relate to the Dadaists…after more research it finally dawned on me that I was born a Dadaist… it explained my childhood, my entire school "daze", my attitude and why I was drawn to playing chess.
   Though I never had a pet lobster… well I did but our friendship didn't last long, mainly because I ate her (she was a hen).

   Over the years I've met many other Dadaist, but only a few of those actually knew that they were. When absurdity becomes the norm I'm switching sides.

3. that was v. informative and well made documentary. i thought is as good as any art documentary made by the bbc today. i agree its a pity there is not a better resolution version available.

8. When commenting on the Marcel Janco masks you should refer to the traditional masks of northern Romania, from the Maramureș region.

9. " Out of cardboard, paper , horsehair and wire , he created lesbian sardines …" xxx

10. dadaism is like taoism.
    "The Tao is like a bellows:
    it is empty yet infinitely capable.
    The more you use it, the more it produces;
    the more you talk of it, the less you understand."

    "Dada applies itself to everything and yet it is nothing"

11. an utterly superb film

12. Dadaists are proto trolls being edgy as fuck.

13. Satie at 6:20 !

14. Dada was the apex of cool

15. thoroughly enjoying this insightful film about two of my most betrothed movements, thank you so much, best film and art lesson for 2018 so far.

16. What an admirable documentary! And the music …. out of this world. Thank you very much indeed.

17. sadly with this super posh British accents its very difficult to believe DADA has achieved anything at all

18. This is an excellent docu, first because it includes their humor and 2nd because it also shows how they became largely irrelevant after WWII.

19. Feet docu. Thank You !♡

20. Interesting. We need to re-think brain damage. These people's physical brains weren't damaged. But their consciousness was so damaged by the war, and perhaps other internal and external causes, that it came to mimic the effects of physical brain damage. The attempt to find meaning specifically and intentionally in meaninglessness. The fierce and fanatical latching onto randomness as a strict ideology, decrying any hint of causation. These poor people bereft of hope, tried to abandon hope, but, being human and unable to do so, accidentally found false hope in sought hopelessness, and made of it an art religion.
    But the madness was necessary. It was the destruction of a calcified shell whence hatched the ugliest and most vulgar and inhuman of raptors, but which was also a phoenix.
    It is ironic, given their hatred of reason and order, also ironic given their penchant for it as an order of disorder and a critical reasoning about reason, that Jung and the Jungians have now mapped the waters in which they were swimming.
    Despite the grotesquery of this movement, one shudders to imagine the suited, marching mechanized stultification left unchecked, against which it protested. Or rather, one can see how, in light of such marching, the intuitive swimming in unconscious waters represented then in art and communications can be seen, again ironically, as a caused effect, sequitous, at least in retrospect, ordered, and not random at all.
    It seems that, even when we are trying not to go anywhere, we are going somewhere. And one can find in that either the horror of the inescapability of the prison of causality, or a benedictine abdication of personal responsibility, a la surrender to a Godhead, OR even an emotive investment once again, or for the first time, in a some march of progress.

21. Stop redefining the dao. Also, stop smelling your own farts.

22. Strange that after World War I dadaism and surrealism seemed very relevant, but after World War II they had very little effect.

23. 46:00

24. I am definitely not having sex with that guy. What an asshole (tolerated for under 5 minutes.) If you like this documentary, we have nothing to say to one another.

25. I have just written a book about Dada ;)))

27. A fine breakdown of artistic movements that are not easy to understand. Thanks for uploading.

28. People that take obvious bs seriously are a plague upon the earth.

29. This shows how insane leftism is.

30. Thanks for the video. Always wanted a hot Dada lover but sadly was born too late.

31. Does anyone know is this film a public domain?

32. What is the song in 21:15?

33. It IS still possible to shock the public – PHEW!
