The cup/hat is also a funnel through which ideas can be poured into the head.

Long live Dada!

this has some 'OK Computer' vibes

I like certain parts of modern art, but dada is my most favorite of modern art. Hopefully, you can go to the Norton Simon Museum during the summer because there's a lot of nice classic and modern art there.

Here's another totally unexpected object for me to gawk and squint at, lol. I love Dix's portrayal of man merging with technology. Such an interesting piece. This is something I don't often find myself thinking about - I associate tech with itself and man's relation to it, not so much the convergence of the two. I love the type cylinder (what are those used for again?) and the tape measure... "Media directly into the mind" is something I've been thinking (and ranting) a lot about lately. I'm grateful for Smarthistory giving me entertainment worth engaging with regularly... I'm curious about the four marks on the back of the head. I'm sure they're there for a reason. All told, this is a super interesting piece I could see myself walking around and (re)interpreting for a while.

I know it’s 1927 but reminds me of the being from Metropolis
