Dadaism

Dadaism or Dada was an art movement of the early 20th century, with early centers in Zürich, Switzerland. Dadaism was a form of artistic anarchy born out of disgust for the social, political and cultural values of the time. It embraced elements of art, music, poetry, theatre, dance and politics. Dada was not so much a style of art like Cubism or Fauvism, it was more a protest movement with an anti-establishment manifesto. The Dada movement consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of the modern capitalist society, instead they expressed nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protests in their works.

I enjoy the style of DaDaism because it expresses weirdness and imperfectness. I like this because I like creating art that is otherworldly, and thought provoking, and favours aesthetic over plausibility. I also like creating art that isn't too perfect and looks handmade because it gives it edge.
