ABOUT HUMANITY: THE REBOOT
If the early 20th-century Dadaist rebelled against everything that led up to the Great War, then today's Neo-Dadaist must riposte, “We will not return to normal.” With climate change, warmongering, massive inequality, pandemic, authoritarianism, and more–who needs to revive the same world?
Be inventive. Be satirical. Be absurd. Of course these are just words from our past as well. Take the first plunge with TO BE. And envisage how humanity can reboot its petty-grasping-self.
As usual with a reboot, the computer comes back on and you are sitting in the same place and the computer screen looks exactly the same except for a notification stating that you shut down your machine because of a problem. Do you want to report this problem? Well report the problem as a poem, or painting, or collage, or word art, or photo. You are the thinker in control.
Forget about the wounds that have healed. Perhaps Dada will reboot as AdAd? How do we circumvent the new normal that arises before it's begun? Through the creative process.
