The document provides an overview of the Dada and Surrealist art movements that emerged in the early 20th century in response to World War I. It discusses key Dada and Surrealist artists like Malevich, Arp, Duchamp, Ernst, and Dali. It also summarizes some of the main ideas and techniques of these movements, such as using shock, nonsense, and irrationality to protest war and established institutions. Dada in particular questioned notions of art, originality, and the role of the artist. Surrealism explored ideas of chance, the unconscious mind, and psychic automatism. Both movements had a significant impact on modern art and cultural production.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

10. Subversive and irreverent, Dada, more than any other movement, has shaken society's notions of art and cultural production. It was fiercely anti-authoritarian and anti-hierarchical, Dada questioned the myth of originality, of the artist as genius suggesting instead that everybody should be an artist and that almost anything could be art. Surrealism, Constructivism, Lettrism, Situationism, Fluxus, Pop and OpArt, Conceptual Art and Minimalism: most twentieth-century art movements after 1923 have roots to Dada. As we have seen over the past few weeks, a succession of avant-garde movements, for Impressionism and its aesthetic ideas, accelerated at the beginning of the 20th century and culminated in the collapse of the absolute principles of Art, discrediting the academies, and ultimately questioning the usefulness and legitimacy of Art itself. All these were elements that fed Dada’s negation.

12. Zurich, 1915 - Hugo Ball and EmmyHennings Cabaret Voltaire
16. Anti-Art used shock, provocation, and irrationality as a weapon against the Establishment it asked the question: what kinds of culture would condone the industrialized murder of WWI it mocked the ‘seriousness’ and sanctity of traditional art it believed that traditional art had been purged and that this new movement was going to start culture from scratch it was created in a ‘child-like’ manner; it believed that the value of art was located more in the act of making than in the work produced
17. Manifestos “What we are celebrating is at once a buffoonery and a requiem mass [...]” “The Dadaist fights against the death-throes and death-drunkeness of his time. Averse to every clever reticence, he cultivates the curiosity of one who experiences delight even in the most questionable forms of insubordination. He knows that this world of systems has gone to pieces, and that the age which demanded cash has organized a bargain a bargain sale of godless philosophies. Where conscience begins for the market-booth owners, mild laughter and mild kindness begin for the Dadaist.” Hugo Ball (1916) Dada Fragments
18. “Dada means nothing” “There is no ultimate Truth. The dialectic is an amusing mechanism which guides us [...] to the opinions we had in the first place. Does anyone think that by a minute refinement of logic he had demonstrated the truth and established the correctness of these opinions? Logic imprisoned by the senses is an organic disease.” “I detest greasy objectivity, and harmony, the science that finds everything in order [...] I am against systems, the most acceptable system ... Is to have none.” Dada Manifesto 1918 Tristan Tzara (1896 – 1963)
19. Dada: sought to liberate art from authority and institutions, definitions and philosophies vehemently opposing conformity, banality and logic encompassed literature, music, drama, photography, and other mediums was a sweeping force that disturbed not only the art world but also the world at large

27. Huelsenbeck’s Manifesto “The highest art will be that which in its conscious content presents the thousand fold problems of the day, the art which has been visibly shattered by the explosions of last week, which is forever trying to collect its libs after yesterdays crash. The best and most extraordinary artists will be those who every hour snatch the tatters of their bodies out of the frenzied cataract of life...” “The word Dada symbolizes the most primitive relation to the reality of the envirnonment; with Dadaism a new reality comes into its own. Life appears as a simultaneous muddle of noises, colours and spiritual rhythums, which is taken unmodified into Dadaist art...” Huelsenbeck 1918
30. “The Dadaists response to the horrors of war was a profound disillusionment with the patriotism, religion, modern education, and technology that brought about and justified the war” (Stokes, p. 117).

36. Breton’s Manifestos “Surrealism: Psychic automism in its pure state by which one proposes to express – verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner – the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern.” Manifesto, 1924 “...it was then, and still is today, a question of testing by any and all means, and of demonstrating at any price, the meretricious natures of the old antinomies hypocritically intended to prevent any unusual ferment on the part of man [...] Surrealism was not afraid to make for itself a tenet of total revolt, complete insubordination [...] The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd.” Second Manifesto, 1930
42. The information psychoanalysis aims to retrieve from a patient is very intimate. For this information concerns what is most intimate in his mental life, everything that, as a socially independent person, he must conceal from other people, and, beyond that, everything that, as a homogenous personality, he will not admit to himself.
43. Two of the hypotheses of psychoanalysis are an insult to the entire world and have earned its dislike. One of them offends against an intellectual prejudice, the other against an aesthetic and moral one.
44. First... Psychoanalysis declares that mental processes are in themselves unconscious and that all of all mental life it is only certain individual acts and portions that are conscious. In saying this psychoanalysis has from the start frivolously forfeited the sympathy of every friend of sober scientific thought.
45. Second ... Is an assertion that instinctual impulses which can only be described as sexual ... Play an extremely large and never hitherto appreciated part in the causation of nervous and mental diseases. It asserts further that these same sexual impulses also make contributions that must not be underestimated to the highest cultural, artistic and social creations of the human spirit.
