En el parque del Oeste (Málaga) existen 45 obras escultóricas de Stefan von Reiswitz.
Este escultor alemán ha estado afincado en Málaga desde el año 1957 hasta su reciente muerte en 2019.
Perteneciente a la corriente dadaista y surrealista.
El hombre se quedó perplejo, sin saber qué hacer ni a dónde ir. ¿Aquello era arte? - se preguntó. No sabía que aquel arte era muy particular y el pintor lo que pretendía era justo lo que él estaba sintiendo.
“Express” Roberto Rauschenberg (1963) Oleo, serigrafía y collage sobre lienzo. Sirvió de enlace entre la generación de pintores expresionistas abstractos veteranos y los jóvenes artistas pop. Su encuentro en 1960 con Marcel Duchamp hace que incorpore los métodos dadaístas en su obra. El Dadaísmo surgió en Zurich (Suiza) en 1916. Se extendió por Europa y llegó a EE.UU.. Estaban en contra del arte, los códigos y valores de su época, la Primera Guerra Mundial y los sistemas establecidos. Su fundador fue Tristan Tzara. Buscaban dejar perplejo al público, quien les insultaba y lanzaba objetos. Se divulgó en revistas, su manifiesto, y en reuniones en cabarets y galerías de arte. Usaban fragmentos, objetos cotidianos de desecho, collages, fotomontajes, siempre buscando la provocación.

The undulating bench is formed by a sequence of 1.5 m concave and convex modules, with an ergonomic design adapted to the human body.
The base is of white "trencadís", and is crowned with a ceramic decoration that recalls the Dadaist or Surrealist collages, with generally abstract motifs, but also some figurative element, such as the signs of the zodiac, stars, flowers, fish, crabs, etc.
Kurt Schwitters (* 20. Juni 1887 in Hannover; † 8. Januar 1948 in Kendal, Cumbria, England) war ein deutscher Künstler, Maler, Dichter, Raumkünstler und Werbegrafiker, der unter dem Kennwort MERZ ein dadaistisches „Gesamtweltbild“ entwickelte.[1] Seine Werke umfassen die Stilrichtungen Konstruktivismus, Surrealismus und Dadaismus, dem sie aber nur durch Gegensätzlichkeit ähnlich waren. Aus heutiger Sicht zählt Schwitters zu den einflussreichsten Künstlern des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts.
„Die Hannoveraner sind die Bewohner einer Stadt, einer Großstadt. Hundekrankheiten bekommt der Hannoveraner nie. Hannovers Rathaus gehört den Hannoveranern, und das ist doch wohl eine berechtigte Forderung. Der Unterschied zwischen Hannover und Anna Blume ist der, daß man Anna von hinten und von vorn lesen kann, Hannover dagegen am besten nur von vorne. Liest man aber Hannover von hinten, so ergibt sich die Zusammenstellung dreier Worte: "re von nah". Das Wort "re" kann man verschieden übersetzen: "rückwärts" oder "zurück". Ich schlage die Übersetzung "rückwärts" vor. Dann ergibt sich also als Übersetzung des Wortes Hannover von hinten: "Rückwärts von nah". Und das stimmt insofern, als dann die Übersetzung des Wortes Hannover von vorn lauten würde: "Vorwärts nach weit". Das heißt also: Hannover strebt vorwärts, und zwar ins Unermeßliche. Anne Blume hingegen ist von hinten wie von vorne: A-N-N-A.
(Hunde bitte an die Leine zu führen.)“
Kurt Hermann Eduard Karl Julius Schwitters (20 June 1887 – 8 January 1948) was a German artist who was born in Hanover, Germany. Schwitters worked in several genres and media, including Dadaism, Constructivism, Surrealism, poetry, sound, painting, sculpture, graphic design, typography, and what came to be known as installation art. He is most famous for his collages, called Merz Pictures.
Joan Miró’s The Hunter (Catalan Landscape) may seem abstract, but a closer look reveals a landscape populated with a rich assortment of human and animal figures and natural forms that together comprise an iconography of the artist’s life. The hunter, standing at the left side of the composition, has a stick figure body and a triangular head. A pipe protrudes just to the right of his bushy mustache, and his heart floats near his chest. In one hand he holds a freshly killed rabbit, in the other, a gun still smoking from the kill. This hunter figure is a stand-in for Miró, and it appears in many of his other works.
Miró’s landscape evokes life on his family’s farm in Montroig, Catalonia, Spain. A politically autonomous region near Spain’s border with France, Catalonia maintains its own parliament, language, history, and culture. Catalan nationalism has been a subject of debate for more than a century. Perhaps hinting at this contentious history, Miró depicts the French, Catalan, and Spanish flags in the background. In the foreground, he writes the word “sard,” short for “Sardana,” Catalonia’s national dance. This truncated word also references the fragmented letters and words of the Dadaist and Surrealist poetry by which he was influenced.
In 1923, Miró moved from Montroig to Paris. The move meant a transition from painting directly from nature to working indoors, in a studio. A few years later, he explained the impact this location change had on his work: “I have managed to escape into the absolute nature, and my landscapes have nothing in common anymore with outside reality….
When visiting an interesting museum, it's all about the external impact, the premises, the artworks, and the visitors.
When you visit a building designed by Richard Meier, you expect white, glass, lots of transparency and brightness, and above all, total aesthetics.
Here, even more so, because he has connected a new building with an old one, a train station no less, and all this in the beautiful setting of the Rhine Valley, in honor of Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp... painter, graphic artist, sculptor, poet, and Dadaism, enriched by textile art ...
At first, the image was very dark due to strong backlighting, and the hand looked frightening and eerie. The image editing process was intended to emphasize this... However, I then opted for brightness and more aesthetics, as I often do ...

Pepperoni fork and shadow. Dada, Dadaism, Surrealistic movements.
Dada or Dadaism was an art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century, with early centres in Zürich, Switzerland, at the Cabaret Voltaire (1916). New York Dada began in 1915 and after 1920 Dada flourished in Paris. Dadaist activities lasted until the mid 1920s.
Developed in reaction to World War I, the Dada movement consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest in their works. The art of the movement spanned visual, literary, and sound media, including collage, sound poetry, cut-up writing, and sculpture. Dadaist artists expressed their discontent toward violence, war, and nationalism, and maintained political affinities with radical left-wing and far-left politics.
There is no consensus on the origin of the movement's name; a common story is that the German artist Richard Huelsenbeck slid a paper knife (letter-opener) at random into a dictionary, where it landed on "dada", a colloquial French term for a hobby horse. Jean Arp wrote that Tristan Tzara invented the word at 6 p.m. on 6 February 1916, in the Café de la Terrasse in Zürich. Others note that it suggests the first words of a child, evoking a childishness and absurdity that appealed to the group. Still others speculate that the word might have been chosen to evoke a similar meaning (or no meaning at all) in any language, reflecting the movement's internationalism.
The roots of Dada lie in pre-war avant-garde. The term anti-art, a precursor to Dada, was coined by Marcel Duchamp around 1913 to characterize works that challenge accepted definitions of art. Cubism and the development of collage and abstract art would inform the movement's detachment from the constraints of reality and convention. The work of French poets, Italian Futurists and the German Expressionists would influence Dada's rejection of the tight correlation between words and meaning. Works such as Ubu Roi (1896) by Alfred Jarry and the ballet Parade (1916–17) by Erik Satie would also be characterized as proto-Dadaist works. The Dada movement's principles were first collected in Hugo Ball's Dada Manifesto in 1916. Source Wikipedia.

Surrealist artist. His full name is Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech. He was born in Figueras, a small town near the French border. In 1917 he started to visit the School of Art and in 1925 he attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. That same year he held his exhibition in Barcelona. He became internationally known when three of his paintings were shown in the Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh in 1928. He was good friend with movie director Luis Bunuel and in 1929 they co-wrote a screenplay for a short movie "An Andalusian Dog." He joined the Paris Surrealist Group, led by former Dadaist, Andre Breton, after passing through phases of Cubism, Futurism and Metaphysical painting. In 1928 he meet Gala when she visited him in Cadaques with her husband, poet Paul Eluard. She became his lover, muse and chief inspiration. Dali and Gala escaped from Europe during World War II, spending from 1940 to 1948 in the United States. These were very important years for the artist. In 1941 Dali had first major retrospective in New York. In 1974 Dali opened the "Teatro Museo Dali" in Figueres. This was followed by retrospectives in Paris and London. After the death of his wife, Gala, in 1982, he spent the rest of his life in seclusion until his death. In 1942 he published his autobiography "The Secret Life of Salvador Dali."

"Pano-Vision" as an approach or an aesthetic is a fluid, malleable and open-ended medium. By it's very nature, set orthodoxies or established methods are called into question and "sabotaged". Ultimate viewpoints are seen as arbitrary and forcefully imputed on to the more complex and often indeterminate nature of reality.
In the PANO-Vision Group artists are invited and encouraged to push the medium as far as they can, incorporating fresh, new and unexpected elements while ensuring that the markers of the medium are still visible.
"Pano-Sabotage" is unique in photographic art in that the distorted or fragmented nature of the image is achieved WITH THE CAMERA, not through post capture manipulation ( e.g. Photoshop etc ). Attempts to mimic the medium in software like Photoshop are always a dead give-away. The "markers" are missing. So Pano-Sabotage is a unique and tell-tale medium.
It's great, 4 years on, to be finding ways to take Pano-Sabotage into new and unexpected places. It's fluid and experimental nature allow for that easily.

The title comes from a line of lyric from a song by Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera called "Miss Shapiro", perhaps the very best of Eno's explorations of glossolalia and similar word play. Early in his career he explored this to extraordinary effect resulting in such classics as "Miss Shapiro", "Backwater", "Kurt's Rejoinder" ( with a snippet of a recording of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters sputtering improvised syllables - an early inspiration for Eno ) and the brilliantly backward "Tzima N'arki" done with Cluster in Germany.

The surrealists and more so the dadaists were enchanted by mannequins. they represented a passage between their world of unreality and humanity. So I was immediately drawn to this mannequin as a photo subject when I saw it. But how to photograph it without making it look like just a mannequin in a thrift store ?
My inside shots were all terrible, but when I got outside I saw this fine gentleman wandering around... slowly, slowly he approached my subject --- click -- gotcha!!!
He also carries that "a man looking for nothing" demeanor which is common in surrealism...
That outside pillar is positioned so as to make him appear to be transforming into a mannequin from his legs.
and you gotta dig his retro shirt --- epic attire !!!!
I wish that silver van was positioned just a bit lower making it appear as though it were sitting up on that display case. that would have added to the strangeness of it all.
and what was I doing in a thrift store? -- looking for CCD cameras - come on !!!
Lucky was my afternoon....

Rye Harbour, E. Sussex.
The Harbour was a regular haunt for early London Dadaists during the naughties in search of precious pearls of discarded Flotsam and Jetsam etc as well as the creation of the " New Hayward " - a converted concrete bunker machine gun post / art gallery from WW2, which will also survive WW3, coming soon, apparently. When you see a very very bright flash, run for cover and remember your God.
En la obra póstuma Fuente de fuego instalada en Bilbao, cinco fuentes de fuego aparecen alineadas en uno de los estanques situados en el exterior del edificio de Frank Gehry. Las llamas, que surgen en una fila, se reflejan sobre la tranquila superficie del agua. Esta obra demuestra el profundo interés que el artista sentía por el fuego, uno de los "cuatro elementos" según la tradición ancestral.

EINE SCHÖNE STADT UND EINE KLEINE GESCHICHTE DAZU ....
Die Breslauer Zwerge (poln. krasnale) sind eine Touristenattraktion in Breslau (Wrocław), der Hauptstadt der polnischen Woiwodschaft Niederschlesien.
Die bronzenen lustigen Wichtel bevölkern Gassen, Marktplätze und Grünflächen.
.... und es ist eine freude sie zu entdecken, gesucht haben wir nicht .... :)
Ihre Herkunft geht auf eine schöne alte Sage zurück.
Der Legende nach halfen die Zwerge einst den ersten Siedlern bei der Stadtgründung. Sie sollen auch den bösartigen Oderkobold, der den Menschen arg zugesetzt hatte, überlistet und ihn einen Kerker im Eulengebirge geworfen haben. Aus Dankbarkeit für die Rettung vor dem bösen Kobold boten die Menschen den kleinen Helfern an, mit ihnen zusammen in Breslau zu leben.
An diese Sage knüpfte die avantgardistische, antikommunistische Bewegung der 1980er Jahre, die "Orangene Alternative" (polnisch: Pomarańczowa Alternatywa) an. Getreu dem Motto, dass Humor die beste Waffe gegen Unterdrückung und jedes Regime ist, machte der Gründer "Orangene Alternative", der Künstler und Schriftsteller Waldemar Fydrych Major, zusammen mit seinem Freund, dem Mathematiker Wiesław Cupała, mit gewaltfreien, dadaistischen Happenings (zum Beispiel Demonstrationen im Zwergenkostüm) auf die Missstände des Sozialismus aufmerksam. An Hauswände, wo die Miliz antikommunistische Parolen mit Farbe übermalte, sprühten sie Zwerge auf.
Die Zwerge wurden zum Symbol für politischen Widerstand.
Nach der Wende nutzte das Stadtmarketing die Bekanntheit der Breslauer Zwerge aus, um sie zum Wahrzeichen Breslaus zu machen. Die ersten waren ein Projekt von Studenten der Kunsthochschule. Seit 2004 sind Künstler beauftragt, diese Figuren in verschiedenen Varianten zu fertigen.
Die 30 cm großen Wichtel aus Bronze wurden in der Altstadt aufgestellt. An der Stelle, wo in den 1980er Jahren die Happenings der "Orangenen Alternative" stattfanden, wurde 2001 auch dem Vater aller Zwerge, dem "Papa Zwerg" ein Denkmal gesetzt.
Zunächst wurden die Skulpturen noch von der Stadt selbst finanziert, doch mittlerweile stiften zunehmend Firmen und Geschäfte neue Wichtel.
Anfang 2009 gab es bereits 95 Exemplare, im August 2014 wurde der 300 aufgestellt.
p.s. Auch in Dresden steht so ein Zwerg, der anlässlich der 55-jährigen Städtepartnerschaft von Breslau und Dresden 2014 der sächsischen Stadt durch den Breslauer Stadtpräsidenten überreicht wurde. Er trägt die Wappen beider Städte und steht seit dem 5. Februar 2015 am
Hietzigbrunnen. .... zumindest muß man nur einen Zwerg suchen und nicht 300, wie in breslau .... :)

It sure as hell ain't no sprint.
Marcel lived in his studio on West 14th Street, with more or less no furniture, except a bed, and a chess board, until he was 67 years old, when he married the well to do Teeny Sattler, in 1954.
Dear Mr. Courtenay,
Why do artists more or less give up everything so that they might be able to make art?
I will always be thankful to Marcel for the gift of 'Infrathin', that alone makes him 'great' in my jaundiced eyes, and has managed to give me hope throughout a somewhat chaotically misspent, extended (60 year), childhood, to which has now been added an extra 11 years as an adult in training.
Trying to add to that (Infrathin) would constitute, of course, a fool's errand, but hey ho, as they say. Luckily, 'infrathin' is all forgiving and anything is possible in that hierarchy-free infinite realm.
Eejits are us, but eejits are apparently welcome. Who could have guessed, or asked for more?
Marcel permanently entered 'Infrathin' on the second day of October, 1968. I am pleased to say that something or other (a mystery to me) is driving me to record his ongoing shenanigans there.
Yours Sincerely,
Chopped Liver.
MAN RAY WROTE... HE WANTS HIS IDEAS BACK!
Well recognized as a photographer, surrealist, DADAist, Man Ray's coup de gras was a series of black & gray abstractions known as RAYOGRAPH's which were composed without the use of a camera, simply by placing objects on sensitized paper in a dark room, and exposing them briefly to a single ray of light.
Created for the 15th Weekly Contest on Man Ray!
Theme: Daisies. All contestants work with one original photo which can be viewed here:www.flickr.com/groups/man-ray/discuss/72157600717801991/
With a nod to Dadaist photomontage, Surrealism and Herbert Bayer here is a 21st century version of "The Scream".

French postcard in the Collection Magie Noire by Editions Hazan, Paris, no. 6037, 1988. Photo: Serge Lido. Caption: Édith Piaf and Jean Cocteau, 1939.
Édith Piaf (1915-1963) is a cultural icon and is universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer. Her ballads, like La Vie en rose (1946) and Non, je ne regrette rien (1960), reflected her life. She appeared sporadically in films.
French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, filmmaker, visual artist and critic Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) was one of the most multi-talented artists of the 20th century. He was one of the creatives of the surrealist, avant-garde, and Dadaist movements. He is best known for his novels 'Le Grand Écart' (1923), 'Le Livre blanc' (1928), and 'Les Enfants Terribles' (1929); the stage plays 'La Voix Humaine' (1930), 'La Machine Infernale' (1934), 'Les Parents terribles' (1938), and 'L'Aigle à deux têtes' (1946); and the films Le sang d'un poète/The Blood of a Poet (1930), La belle et la bête/Beauty and the Beast (1946), Les Parents Terribles (1948), Orphée/Orpheus (1950), and Le testament d'Orphée/Testament of Orpheus (1960). He collaborated with the "Russian Ballet" company of Sergei Diaghilev and was active in many art movements, but he always remained a poet at heart.

Last night I dreamt Jesus and I walked along a beach.
"Jesus," I said, "you're black? I thought that was a Hollywood cliche. I figured you didn't have a race--you were just the essence of forgiveness or love or something."
"Nope, I'm black. My son, I'm concerned about the path of your life. You used to help the less fortunate. You used to devote yourself to causes. Now you just pursue money. What happened?"
"Jesus, I'm not sure I ever cared about those causes or if I just wanted to aggrandize myself. I mean, I care but it's secondary to making my own life better. And it's a distant second."
Jesus nodded understandingly.
"Everyone wants to improve their lot, Jesus. But materialists are at least honest about it. Given that you've built us with this self-preservation that trumps other concerns, maybe the most we can hope for is to not be a hypocrite. And to make enough money to enjoy the world you've built for us. It does take money, Jesus, no matter what anyone says."
Holding his hands behind his back as we walked, Jesus was the model of the thoughtful listener. "Mmm-hmm. There was an element of egotism to your works. But in sum you may, eventually, have been able to make some difference, even if small."
"The ends justify the means, Jesus? Is that the creator's philosophy?"
"Oh no. Look around," he said, gesturing to the sky and the water and the sand. "My father was a dadaist. And maybe," he concluded, probing a wound in his wrist absent-mindedly, "a bit of a sadist."
Work of Man Ray in La Reina Sophia Museum of modern art. Indestructible object, 1923. Born in america with the name of Emmanuel Radnizki.1890. Dadaist, surrealist. A friend of Dali.
On May 25 2016, Jeanne-Mance Street was reinvigorated by the installation of public art, Où boivent les loups, by Stephen Schofield.
“Through the narrative of this artwork, my goal was to share the pleasure of exploring the material of the sculptural object by evincing my empathy for the human figure. The title, taken from a poem by Tristan Tzara, one of the first Dadaists, is a metaphor for challenge and risk, drawn from deep waters to create a strong artwork. The image of the river where the wolves come to drink corresponds to Jeanne-Mance Street, where the five sculptures are set.”
– S. SCHOFIELD

Marcel cracks a joke (in Dutch!), and catches it on his new iPhone 17 (whilst visiting Vermeer in Infrathin).
Johannes loved the video app.
A.I. Summary (after the fact, and since somewhat corrected)
The image is a humorous, manipulated photograph of Johannes Vermeer's painting, 'The Milkmaid'. The original painting, completed around 1658, depicts a kitchen maid pouring milk.
The manipulated image shows three frames, with the central figure having a wide, laughing expression (and the third with the model partially reassuming her composure, beginning to suppress her laughter, to continue with her pouring and posing).
The accompanying text uses several art-related and philosophical concepts to create a fictional narrative. It references the camera obscura, a device that some art historians believe Vermeer might have used as an aid for his paintings. The text also mentions the Dadaist and conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp and his concept of "infrathin". Duchamp coined the term to describe a barely perceptible difference between two things, an idea he believed could only be explained through examples, such as the warmth of a seat that has just been vacated.
The phrase "Marcel cracks a joke" is a nod to Duchamp's use of humor and puns in his art, including his famous readymade Fountain and his parody of the Mona Lisa.
The query appears to be a creative work or art parody, rather than a factual inquiry.
AI responses may include mistakes (DUH!).
Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931), founder of art journal "De Stijl", working with Piet Mondrian, but also influential in DaDa movement.

The two made photographs I have uploaded today belong together inextricably. Their themes are connected. In the previous one I discussed the novelist Willa Cather's protagonist Professor Godfrey St Peter, and linked this to the idea that Western civilisation was in decline (Oswald Spengler).
Anyone observant of current trends around the world cannot miss the significance of what is happening to our cultures. There is so much going on at so many levels, and on so many fronts that it is dizzying in its perspective. I'll just mention two major trends:
(1) Cancel Culture: Whereas our Western democracies have always prided themselves on the basic freedoms (speech, religion, the right of assembly), it appears now that what you say, believe and with whom you associate determines whether you are "in" or "out". Fall foul of the tech giants these days and it's social media purgatory for you. The same people who exclaim we need more "difference" in society are the same ones calling for social and moral conformity. This is a sign of the times. A Thomas Jefferson Statue is torn down in NYC. But they'll donate to the Taliban!

(2) Rioting and the destruction of Statues: There's nothing particularly new here. Art has always been attacked as a surrogate for certain people and their beliefs (think of how the Puritans smashed their way through the cathedrals of England). But it is particularly chilling to witness the attempts to erase history though the destruction of works of art. This is a sign of the times.
Now if art is itself involved in what Marshall Berman once called, "creative destruction", then we have to pay attention because it usually means that a civilisation is about to change religions. Art history has a term for this, "Iconoclasm" - literally, the destruction of ikons.
The Face is about to be Defaced.
So you can see why these two images I've posted today must go together.
I have a lot of time for what the Dadaists were trying to say. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada
Their anarchistic approach to sacred cows provided an opportunity for people in an already declining West to find a fresh start (see my previous discussion about Oswald Spengler). But the trick is knowing something about where you want to take that new society and making sure that no single person is left behind. It is one thing to deface the old face of the world, but quite another to make something beautiful again.
D.H. Lawrence (another writer who had imbibed Spengler), said of his 1928 novel, "Lady Chatterley's Lover": "Vitally, the human race is dying. It is like a great uprooted tree, with its roots in the air. We must plant ourselves again in the universe." But Homo Sapiens has always been Homo Religiosis. From the dawn of time (human history), human beings have been drawn to the numinous. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numinous This is exactly what Jung was pointing to in his dispute with Freud. Jesus said that "Man cannot live by bread alone." And the Buddha called into question the very reality of material life itself with his concept of anatta (literally "no self" or complete impermanence).
So when our culture begins defacing its art, we need to ask what sort of religion is replacing the old. That is what these two images invite you to contemplate. This is why I speak out.

après la rhinocérisation, le monde souffre d'angine de poitrine dadaïste
C'est le diagnostic parfait pour un monde qui a troqué sa raison contre des cornes.Après la métamorphose collective d'Ionesco, il est logique que le cœur de la société subisse un infarctus du sens. L'angine de poitrine dadaïste, c'est ce spasme où le langage ne sert plus à communiquer, mais à éructer des onomatopées pour masquer la douleur de l'absurde. On ne meurt pas de maladie, on meurt d'une accumulation de slogans et de bruits de sabots.Dans ce chaos, le seul remède est sans doute une prescription de poésie automatique appliquée directement sur la cage thoracique.
after rhinocerization the world has dadaist chest pains [pectoral angina] [angine de poitrine]
The phrase "after rhinocerization the world has dadaist chest pains" connects Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist play Rhinoceros—a metaphor for the rise of totalitarian ideologies and mass conformity (rhinoceritis)—with the chaotic, anti-rational response of the Dada movement to societal crises.Rhinocerization (Rhinoceritis): In Ionesco's Rhinoceros, citizens, one by one, succumb to a disease that transforms them into rhinoceroses, symbolizing the abandonment of humanistic values, individuality, and intellect in favor of violent conformity.Dadaist Chest Pains: This likely refers to the mental anguish, existential anxiety, and absurd, non-rational reactions that arise in the few remaining humans (like the protagonist Bérenger) who resist this total transformation. The "Dadaist" aspect suggests a fractured, irrational, and disjointed emotional response (like the Dada movement's own rejection of logic).

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM
Take a newspaper.
Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem.
Cut out the article.
Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag.
Shake gently.
Next take out each cutting one after the other.
Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag.
The poem will resemble you.
And here you are a writer, infinitely original and endowed with a sensibility that is charming though beyond the understanding of the vulgar.
—Tristan Tzara, 1920
well sort of ............

Außerordentliche Umstände, erfordern außerordentliche Maßnahmen! Darum jetzt hier das letzte Foto (und mit Sicherheit nicht das beste welche) von dem Spot damit ich endlich das Album abschließen kann.
Bitte verzeiht mir diesen dadaistischen Ausrutscher. Ich hoffe, das ich ab morgen wieder anständiges Material liefern werde. ;)
Ihr dürft natürlich gerne Teilen, kommentieren, konstruktiv kritisieren und Folgen.

La technique du photomontage apparue dès 1850-1851 par la combinaison de négatifs au collodion s'est popularisée après 1917, en Russie (URSS), avec le mouvement constructiviste dont Alexander Rodtchenko et El Lissitzky sont les pionniers. Parallèlement, en Allemagne, les dadaïstes, comme Raoul Hausmann et John Heartfield développent eux aussi cette technique. Le photomontage s'engage dès l'origine dans deux directions : la poésie (et l'onirisme) et la propagande politique.
D'un point de vue artistique, il se propose de transformer ce qui est réel de manière poétique ou humoristique. Les artistes surréalistes et dadaïstes l’ont notamment utilisé de manière générale. Certains gouvernements, communistes et autres, ont dans l'histoire eu recours au trucage, à des fins politiques et idéologiques.
Depuis la fin du XXe siècle, le photomontage est poussé par un souffle nouveau grâce à l'arrivée de l'informatique et aux logiciels de retouche d'image tels Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, CorelDraw ou GIMP (voir la figure ci-dessous). Le collectif suisse d'éditeurs Plonk et Replonk en a fait sa marque de fabrique.
Le scrapbooking digital constitue un type de montage photo. Il existe des logiciels spécialisés, Studio-Scrap.
