the question of whether modern internet humor is dadaist is fascinating because sure on a surface level, it absolutely resembles dadaist art of the 1920′s but my question is…………..is it art?
the original dada movement emerged specifically to interact with that question, of whether an incoherent collage, or a gold-plated toilet seat, or poetry pulled out of a hat should be considered art
but internet humor? it exists solely for us to entertain one another. it doesn’t give a shit about what art is or isn’t, and comments like “this belongs in a museum” or “where’s her oscar” always come after the fact, and, more importantly, are made specifically to add entertainment value
so my take for today is that internet humor isn’t neo-dada, or post-dada, or even “e-dada” or “#dada”; as a mass movement concerned more with community participation than performance to an audience and wholly unconcerned with questions about higher meaning…………….this is folk dada
i just discovered my new favorite painter and she painted the exact Emma Bovary ive been picturing for y e a r s
Portrait study of a woman in a yellow dress, Emma Sandys, 1870
– the yellow dress? (Emma went to the ball in La Vaubyessard in a yellow dress)
– the medieval tapestry? (we know she’s got a thing for medieval tapestries and religious objects)
– the annoyed, introspective face?
– that hair!!! those eyes!!! (same color/nature, same complexion as Emma’s, and a hairstyle that really looks like hers)
– that’s Emma Bovary as she pictured herself when she was in her convent during her teen years, reading Walter Scott!!!!!! she literally tried to emulate this very picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
