Oh shucks, this war isn't great.
I reject all art.
I reject all war.
I reject all materialism...
And chose a random word for this art movement!
Look everyone, I made some art!
Or did I?
Bring out the prisoners!
Why?
Who cares?
Who doesn’t care?
Dada is dead.
Or is Dada still alive?
We cannot revive something that is alive just
as we cannot revive anything that is dead.
Is Dada dead?
Is Dada alive?
Dada is.
Dadaism.”
My art piece "The Gift" was a flat iron with brass tacks glued down the center.
It was meant to render a simple household object useless with one addition.
I 
was born August 27th 1890, in Philadelphia,
U.S.A. and died November 18th 1976 in Paris,
France.
I was successful in both Europe and the United
States.
I grew up as a painter but switched between
paints and photo.
Like other dadaists at the time, I valued
the idea behind art
more than the art itself.
I’m also considered a pre-surrealist and
encouraged the avant-garde art scene in the states.
I was born September 16th 1886 in Alsace, Germany,
and I died June 7th 1966 in Basel, Switzerland.
Known for abstract sculpture, I created organic sculptures that are often seen as
plants, bodies and other things thought to
be organic.
This piece of collage art was created when I threw scraps
of paper on the ground and glued them where they fell.
It’s called “Untitled.
"Collage of Squares Arranged According to the
Laws of Chance.”
I first created a sculpture before giving
it a title, as to encourage chance and not
interfere with the randomness of the piece.
This was different than the skilled control
valued at the time that I rejected.
I was born April 16th 1896 in Moinesti Romania,
and I died December 24th 1963, in Paris, France.
I published manifestos depicting the goals
of the movement and created disruptive performances
in Cafe Voltaire, as well as performances
meant to trick the public.
This piece was the cover for my magazine "Bulletin Dada", and later, "Dadaphone",
which printed in Paris in early 1920.
I had interests in african art taking inspiration
from it and used collage like techniques or
“cut ups”.  (Thanks to Colin's sister for the impromptu voiceover)
