ZURICH, SWITZERLANDThe Wikipedia entry on Dadathe World War Iera
"anti-art" movement characterized by random nonsense words, bizarre
photocollage, and the repurposing of pre-existing material to strange
and disturbing effectmay or may not have been severely vandalized,
sources said Monday.

"This is either totally messed up or completely accurate," said Reed
College art history major Ted Brendon. "There's a mustache drawn on the
photo of Marcel Duchamp, the font size keeps changing, and halfway
through, the type starts going in a circle. Also, the majority of the
actual entry is made up of Krazy Kat cartoons with abstract poetry
written in the dialogue balloons."

The fact that the web page continually reverts to a "normal" state,
observers say, is either evidence that ongoing vandalization is being
deleted through vigilant updating, or a deliberate statement on the
impermanence of superficial petit-bourgeois culture in the age of
modernity.
