Day 7: Dadaism

Apart of the Actual?  Sure this phrase is a artistic phrase, but what else is the meaning besides atheistic.

Apart of the actual is something that is looked for in Dada, which was the change in art after WW2.  I knew that world wars were life changing, and looking at a artist's view I can sorta feel what they felt.  One of the most unknown-well know (unknown for dada, but a known performer) Lady Gaga.  While looking at her latest video You and I, I was able to find the dadaism in her work.  I was also able to trace dadaism to Lady Gaga and beyond.  For example:
Dada -> New York ->  Theater -> NYU -> Lady Gaga etc...

Dada is relevant to art in this time not only because the time of dadaism is now but, all art needs an explanation.  I am always wondering why, and I have found you need to support any artwork or opinions that I put out into the world.  I may be right/wrong or some artistic purgatory, but as long as I explain my reason I can never be questioned or thought of as wrong.
