What drew you specifically to DADA and Surrealism as an aesthetic inspiration?
The DADAist challenged artistic and intellectual conventions and were always eager to avoid classification. They broke away from the traditions but moreover the rules the art world had previously prescribed. In each city that it manifested it expressed itself differently. It was about making art that felt right to THEM, in the moment, to the artists themselves and that’s about it. It didn’t have to look a certain way - it just had to feel right. It is the only art movement named not by critics but by the artists themselves. It’s not about someone telling you what to eat or a critic telling you what’s art or not and what movement you belong in or not.
That being said, it placed a major importance on the human mind and body while heavily influencing the Surrealist focus on the fantastical imaginative world that they created. To me, all those elements sum up the ethos of DADA daily.
