Hey Godslayer Jillian,

Isn't it impossible for beauty to exist in a meaningless existence?
Beauty itself is based on meaning.

Oh, I still can't see any beauty in dadaism, I just think it is weird in its attempt to undermine the purpose, production and reception of art. For example, one infamous dadaist (Manzoni) did a piece called Artists' Shit, in which he filled 90 boxes with his own excrement, and then told the buyers of his "piece" never to open them. You obviously know something I don't.

I don't mean to sound derogatory, but I really would like to know your perspective on it. It's really intriguing
