Slide18Dada is an anti-logic movementDadaists viewed old world logic as flawed and unfairThey wanted to create a cultural revolution to break away from this form of logic
How is it all related to logic?
Slide19However, there are some similarities to how we view logical thinking: Logic is using abstraction to analyse problems
Dada used art as an abstraction to analyse what is wrong with society Art via paradoxes Used DREAM logic
How is it all related to logic?
Slide20Also:Dada was in response to cultural crisis, because old world culture had caused the war
Logicians were in crisis after Russell’s Paradox . Old logic of Cantor, Hilbert, etc. Did not seem to workSo just as Dada attempted to destroy old culture...New logic (Gödel, Turing, etc) destroyed old thinking and brought new fields of study with it:COMPUTER SCIENCE!
How is it all related to logic?
