not what it looks like, so doesn't have to be pleasing to the eye

every day objects turning into something funny/different

its about the concept not the looks

Dada exquisite corps;
This is where artists would write a sentence or a line of words and fold the paper so that who ever next couldn't read it and would write their own sentence or few words. This would then create a body of txt which doesn't make sense, this was a parlour game just for fun. Later on artists would try to create poems. Then it got turned into a drawing using the same technique. 

Dada collage;


Duchamp has an alter ego Rrose selavy; 
The name Rrose is said like eros which is a greek god of sexual desire and attraction. So the name is a pun in its self.

The baroness - DaDa
Elsa von Freytag.
She was the face of DaDa.
She came up with the idea of the fountain by Duchamp.

 Duchamp's ready mades;

"Whether Mr Mutt with his own hands made the fountain or not has no importance. He CHOSE it. He took an ordinary article of life, and placed it so that its useful significance disappeared under the new title and point of view – created a new thought for that object."
