Dada was an avant-grande where the art is radical and unorthodox. The movement's intent was to mock materialistic and nationalistic attitudes. It aimed to overturn bourgeois sensibilities. its purpose was to intrigue the role of artist and the purpose of the art-- asserting "Dada is anti-Dada". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dada's principles can and is needed to be applied in the modern world. In today's society where issues are becoming more complex, it is always good to think, evaluate concepts, challenge norms and express to inspire. Opposing can be beneficial as it can counterbalance powers in the society. The checks and balances will mold the people, the society and the quality of life of humanity.
The purpose of the Dada movement was to protest contemporary culture and change the perception of art through use of humor and confusing elements. I believe that the principles of Dada are applicable in today's society because there is still a counter-culture and Dada allows for unique perspectives and beliefs to be expressed.
