It is a type of rebellion, or even a revolution. In the same way, Dada regarded itself as a type of rebellious freedom. Even more than Suprematism, Dada considered itself as independent of conformity. Indeed, Tzara is even averse to writing a manifesto for the movement, since it would require the formation of a central philosophy, which the manifesto insists is absent. Very briefly, the central concept of the manifesto and all the claims Tzara makes is inherent in the three simple words of the heading: "Dada Means Nothing."

Tzara takes a long time to explain what this entails. For Tzara, Dada means independence not only of artistic form, but also of artistic criticism and even of other artists. For the Dadaist art means a uniquely personal experience that is neither meaningful nor meaningless. It exists in and of itself, independent of human conditions or philosophies.

Like Suprematism,...

It includes these, but other art forms are also considered, including poetry and music. In creating forms, words, and sounds that are free of social or artistic constraints, Dadaists denote their own freedom from such norms. Tzara also says: "What we need is works that are strong straight precise and forever beyond understanding…Logic is always wrong."
Tzara goes on to explain in very colorful terms how logic creates slaves of illusion, making an enemy of freedom. Dada denounces logic in favor of freedom in expression by whatever means.

In conclusion, both movements are concerned with freedom from the former constraints of tradition in artistic expression. Indeed, many of the works emerging from these movements defy logic and challenge knowledge.
