I think it's peculiar what can evolve from the awareness that one is being filmed. I wonder if our actions would have been different had we not had a camera to consciously or subconsciously perform for.
I also am thinking about what it was like to deliberately follow direction stating, "We will all do Dada things now, and here are the parameters under which they'll take place." Is an academic discussion of Dada sort of Dada in itself, seeing as how Dada founders believed everything to be absurd or incomprehensible?
If we "put on" a Dada event, are we contradicting what Dada is, fundamentally? Would our performance be just that--a facsimile or representation of Dada, instead of the "real thing"?

funny thing is...the filming didn't work. there is no video documentation of the exercise.
