DADA, NADA, GAGA: The Destruction of the Media-Criticism Tradition and the Non-Appearance of Natural Procreative Hygiene — A Documentary Account of Systematic Non-Retrieval, 1919–2026

Dada kitsch is abundant, and the real thing is very rare. The observation was never about art history. It was about retrieval. What a civilization makes cheap and ubiquitous is the counterfeit; what it makes rare, difficult, or unfindable is whatever the counterfeit exists to bury. This essay applies the formula to its test case, traces the sequence of falsifications that consumed it, and names the mechanism. The name is epistemicide.

Abstract

Dada kitsch is abundant, and the real thing is very rare. The observation was never about art history. It was about retrieval. What a civilization makes cheap and ubiquitous is the counterfeit; what it makes rare, difficult, or unfindable is whatever the counterfeit exists to bury. This essay applies the formula to its test case, traces the sequence of falsifications that consumed it, and names the mechanism. The name is epistemicide.
