"Your Honor, have you ever heard of Marcel Duchamp?"


Duchamp played the status game of arbitrary signals as representations for high status. He's not a chaos agent. He's a relic of a generation trying to get into galleries and museums for status. It's not even close to meme-culture.


Ok, so Tyler Robinson is a sincere Dadaist in a way that the founders were not.


Flush out your headgear oldster. Dada was a status gain group in a hierarchical system. Meme-culture is 21st C non-linear chaos deep in horizontalization. Take your academic art history takes to plain English status seeing magazines.
