Dadaist Chess

In the previous post, What Is Dadaist Chess? (February 2025), I quoted from Wikipedia,

Dada or Dadaism was an anti-establishment art movement that developed in 1915 in the context of the Great War [aka WWI] and the earlier anti-art movement.

Adding that to an earlier post titled, Cubist Chess (February 2025; 'Marcel Duchamp plays cubist chess'), generates yet another view of Marcel Duchamp playing chess, shown below.

While those faces all look like Marcel Duchamp, where's the Dadaism? An even more fundamental question is how do you depict an 'anti-establishment / anti-art' movement? Our AI comic software is clearly struggling with the question.

One trick the software uses when lost for an appropriate image is to create a meaningless comic sequence, like the one shown in the upper left frame. Another trick is to put stuff on the wall, like the two frames on the right. Maybe the framed pictures relate to images well known to Dadaism. Then again, maybe not. What do I know?

Like the software, I'm clearly struggling here, so I'd better end this post now. • Next post in the series: Call me clueless.
