Coincidance - Principia Discordia

COMIX and CUT-UPS
In 1914, partly inspired by the thought that
World War I was the product of a rational and
linear consciousnes, Tristan Tzara, one of the
founders of Dadaism, began composing poems
by picking words at random out of a hat. The
bourgeoise world naturally regarded this as
some morbid joke, or satire, and forgot it; but
the surrealists realized the importance of what
had been done. It was no mere whim that led
Breton to decorate the first Surrealist Exhibition
in 1923 with signs warning:
DADA IS NOT DEAD!
WATCH YOUR OVERCOAT!
The artificial separation of "art" and "life"—so necessary for the
maintenance of what fools call civilization and Philip K. Dick more correctly
called the Empire's Black Iron Prison—had been breeched and broken. Dali's
celebrated "defense" of Hitler, which caused his expulsion from surrealism,
was the purest statement of surrealist politics ever uttered, even if most of
the surrealists were not prepared to understand it: "Hitler has four balls and
six foreskins."
