When I was 18 I saw a really cool art exhibit at the University of Washington gallery about Dada and it had lots of old and contemporary stuff mixed. There were videos of Einsturzende Neubauten playing the Autobahn next to sculptures and paintings from the original days. It was massively influential on me aesthetically.
Dada is hard to talk or write about because the very nature of what it represents makes it hard to characterize. If you define it, then you create rules and by it's very definition those rules must then be broken, smashed, and recontextualized. Which is something to love all the way in my book.
