The movement advocated the use of irony, nihilism, iconoclasm, the absurd, and emphasized the importance of chance in the creation of poems, performances, and artworks, which were typically commonplace objects set in an artistic setting. The name Dada was chosen by chance from the dictionary. ]]></note></mads>
