sorry i jus wanted to have the 200th post. i hope this is the 2000th better post it quickly...

i saw in some other posts that the colour codes were linked to Theo van Doesburg. Having searched for him on the net, i found the following information which fits into X&Y being about opposites etc. ''Doesburg then installed himself near to the Bauhaus buildings and started to attract school students interested in the new ideas of constructivism.'' and then i clicked on the link 'constructivism' and came up with the DADA movement in art.The origins of the name "Dada" are unclear. Some believe that it is a nonsensical word. Some believe it originates from the Romanian artists Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco's frequent use of the words "da, da", meaning "yes, yes" in the Romanian language. Others believe that a group of artists assembled in Zürich in 1916, wanting to form a movement, chose a name at random by stabbing a French-German dictionary, and picking the name that the point landed upon. "Dada" in French is a child's word for "hobby-horse". French also has the colloquialism "c'est mon dada" meaning "it's my hobby". more importantly According to its proponents, Dada was not art — it was anti-art. For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the opposite. Where art was concerned with aesthetics, Dada ignored aesthetics. If art was to have at least an implicit or latent message, Dada strove to have no meaning — interpretation of Dada is dependent entirely on the viewer. If art is to appeal to sensibilities, Dada offends. Perhaps it is then ironic that Dada is an influential movement in modern art. Dada became a commentary on art and the world, thus becoming art itself. The artists of the Dada movement were disillusioned by art, art history and history in general. Many of them were veterans of World War I and were cynical of humanity after seeing what men were capable of doing to each other on the battlefields of Europe. Thus they were attracted to a nihilistic world view (they thought that nothing mankind had achieved was worthwhile, not even art), and created art in which chance and randomness formed the basis of creation. The basis of Dada is nonsense. With the order of the world destroyed by World War I, Dada was a way to express the confusion felt by many people as their world turned upside down. There was not an attempt to find meaning in disorder, but rather to accept disorder as the nature of the world. Many embraced this disorder through Dada, using it as a means to express their distaste for the aesthetics of the previous order and carnage it reaped. Through this rejection of traditional culture and aesthetics they hoped to reach a personal understanding of the true nature of the world around them. im sure a lot of stuff here relates to the artwork and opposites and everything else thats been said.
