  3. Not-coincidentally to today being Bastille Day, today also marks the birth of Dada.

    On July 14th, 1916, writes the New York Times‘ Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, “the poet Hugo Ball proclaimed the manifesto for a new movement. Its name: Dada. Its aim: to ‘get rid of everything that smacks of journalism, worms, everything nice and right, blinkered, moralistic, europeanised, enervated.'”
