I'm looking for this Dadaist poster I saw awhile ago. Google is failing me. I'm looking for this Dadaist poster that parodied corporate lingo/jargon in a few pages of PDFs--at the beginning it's intelligible but it quickly breaks down into utter nonsense; entire sentences comprised of non-existent newspeak and graphs that contradict themselves.

It's pretty great. But it's nowhere to be found! Anyone have a clue?

Thanks!

Surrealist Scrapbooking

I am making a scrapbook for a friend of mine. The challenge? Neither one of us is the type to groove on the tacky "Precious Moments" aesthetic of most scrapbooking materials available. What's an aging goth to do? I am looking for craft and scrapbooking materials and ideas that are more Dark Victorian, Weimer-esque, Art Nouveau, and antique-y than "cute n' country". My idea is to make something that looks like an antique Dadaist/Surrealist art book out of the photos I have. I have scoured the internet, local second hand stores and craft shops for months, with little success. My stock of "found" items is limited at the moment and mostly too contemporary for my needs. Any suggestions for where I can get cool materials online or in the Seattle area would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dadaist Organic Urban Idealism?

I'm having trouble tracking down information about a movement in Dada-ist Art I heard about a few years ago. From what I remember Dadaist idealism inspired a group of artists to contemplate the organic development of urban environments. Art, using the defined structure of the city, to reflect the chaotic order which arises from nature. Did this century old movement exist or has my brain made it up?
