I was under the impression that dada was born? when one of the founding 'dadaists' opened a french dictionary randomly to a page and "dada" was the first word found--meaning wooden toy horse (also being universally (in euro-centric cultures) one of the first words children learn to say--obviously referring to their fathers. But yeah, dada was an interesting art movement. as was fluxus, which included some artists accused of ripping off dada. sorry bout the ramblings. after those 4 years in art school i couldn't help regurgitate a bit of what I 'learned.' -geoff np: plus one: bare necessities _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
