Mainly this:
"Dada has often been called nihilistic, for its declared purpose was indeed to make clear to the public that all established values, moral or aesthetic, had been rendered (made) meaningless by the catastrophe of the great war. The artists, refugees from the war set out in their bitterness to mock all the values of what they believed to be a culture gone mad. "Dada," said one of its historians "was born from what it hated." Since the artists' intentions were fundamentally nihilistic, Dada works are best approached with their creators avowed (admitted) spirit of non-art or even anti-art in mind: "Dada is against everything, even Dada"--that is, against all that had become organized, formalized."
