TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM Take a newspaper. Take some scissors.
Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make
your poem. Cut out the article. Next carefully cut out each of the
words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag. Shake
gently. Next take out each cutting one after the other. Copy
conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag. The poem
will resemble you. And there you are - an infinitely original
author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the
vulgar herd.*

Slide 19
Starting in 1997, Rhonda Roland Shearer began publishing
research that seemed to show that Duchamp had in fact altered in
important and interesting ways all of his readymades originals that
actually corresponded to the readymades could not be found and in
some cases were impossible. The Mona Lisa (original no longer
available) seems to have been a repainting that made the face
closer to Duchamps in details aar from the moustache and
goatee.

From the early 1970s, David Bowie has used cut-ups to create
some of his lyrics. This technique influenced Kurt Cobain's
songwriting. Thom Yorke applied a similar method in Radiohead's Kid
A (2000) album, writing single lines, putting them into a hat, and
drawing them out at random while the band rehearsed the songs. The
