The Dada Manifesto

        In the Dada Manifesto, Hugo Ball said "I don't want words that other people have invented. All the words are other people's inventions. I want my own stuff, my own rhythm, and vowels and consonants too, matching the rhythm and all my own."  With this statement, Ball was trying to suggest that forms of art and expression are much more creative when they are original.  The less you borrow from other peoples ideas, the more creative your idea is.  He He takes creativity to an extreme by believing that one should make up a word and apply it however they feel.  I believe Hugo meant this for every form of art.  He believe that true creativity is when you invent rather than form ideas based off other artist creations.  
         I chose this quote because as a scientist, musician and a person that loves to dream big, I deem it important to create thingss that have never been seen or heard of.  Inventors are always remembered.   
       I agree with Ball to an extent.  For art in General I believe it is necessary to create a piece that can not be traced back to another artist or another piece. Great poets, literature writers, musicians, artist should have pieces that are well distinguished from any other piece.  However, in my opinion it is a little extreme when you attempt to create words as he described it.  I like how he made reference to dada as a universal word, but he later talked about calling objects that already have names , a word completely different.  Perhaps he was trying to point out a concept which I do not clearly understand, but I feel that art is useless if people can not decode or understand it properly..
