    Wir wollen mehr als Dada - Schwarze Protokolle, Nr.9


    13

    Dada war im ganzen aber keine künstlerische oder politische oder anarchistische Bewegung, sondern der Versuch des 'totalen Aufstandes gegen alle Gewohnheiten, jeden Glauben und alle Vorrechte'. Der Versuch des totalen Bruchs mit der Vergangenheit, 'praktische-Selbstvergiftung des Selbst', a way of liberation, psychisch-ästhetische Ökologie als Innenweltentschmutzung - Dada wollte sein ein 'neuer Seinszustand, der eine neue Technik des Lebens und des Glücks schaffen will' (Hausmann), gegen die Kunst, gegen den Humanismus, 'für das eigene Erleben', behaftet noch mit der Kinderkrankheit der Fixierung auf die Kunst als das Bekämpfte und auf das eigene Ego, der Unfähigkeit zu sterben und wiedergeboren zu werden - 'To suffer one's death & to be reborn is not easy' (Perls).

    'Wenn der abstrakte rationale Intellekt der Ausbeuter ist, sind die Massen das Unbewusste' (Gary Snyder), und die Partei sind dada, Zen und die Yogins.

    TRIUMPH #1 FOR...OH SHIT I CAN'T REMEMBER,

    SCREAMS KOKO THE CLOWN.

    You see, DADA is a myriad of self-defeating footballs teams of wisdom. We don't like winning, which signals the end of the game. We don't even mind being misunderstood, which gives us reason to write more manifestos.

    (NO MORE MANIFESTOS! interrupts Tristan Tzara.)


    When I read Zen philosophy I willingly question the way I think. Zen doesn't challenge. It teaches you to challenge yourself to question. If what I read represents current Dadaist beliefs then I can safely say that my personality would not do well with Dadaism."


    And so Dada may be a misinterpretation of Zen.

    "The thing about Zen is that it pushes contradictions to their ultimate limit where one has to choose between madness and innocence. And Zen suggests that we may be driving toward one or the other on a cosmic scale. Driving toward them because, one way or the other, as madmen or innocents, we are already there. It might be good to open our eyes and see.

    JohnCage was a Zen practitioner, but was frequently accused of Dadaism. Perhaps he was simply taking the ideas of TristanTzara (as described in this lecture of 1922) a step further into the public eye. John Cage was a composer and a mushroom collector.
