No, I am not familiar with this. Sounds fascinating.

Dada has always reminded me of a high school prank, and although I will agree, that; “the purpose of art had been to say something about humanity, and how to be a human being.” It seems to me that this idea is of a description of the proper function of art, rather than the actual information lacking in art.

I think that the visual arts have many purposes depending on the audience. I do not think the general public has any reason to care about the visual arts anymore, considering, that most contemporary artists seem to be subversive infantile Marxists, and this in a country ruled by the Lord of the Flies.
