A wild and wacky podcast as Max and Colborn attempt to breakdown a wacky and wild document: Hugo Ball's 1918 "Dada Manifesto," which may or may not have elevated modernism to new heights in Europe. This is a text about nonsense, the absurd quite literally, giving things names and taking them away, the invention of an entirely new language. As crypto art everyday fights further to solidify its own existence, the "Dada Manifesto" feels more important than ever to analyze, dissect, and understand. Why don't we do so together?
