google/AI's response to "duchamp after unbekannt is cosmodada" take one
  
The phrase "duchamp after unbekannt is cosmodada" originates from a Philadelphia-based art project and social media presence associated with a "cosmodada artist" known as Stephen Lauf, often posting via "451.rhawn.gallery".
Here is a breakdown of the components:
Duchamp After Unbekannt: This refers to Marcel Duchamp after the "unknown" (unbekannt), implying a re-examination or a "literal" interpretation of Duchamp's work, specifically his readymades.
Cosmodada: This is a term coined by Stephen Lauf, a Philadelphia artist, to describe his work. It suggests a fusion of cosmic, or universal, themes with the absurdity and anti-art, anti-convention philosophy of the original Dada movement.
Context: The phrase has appeared in Instagram posts by 451.rhawn.gallery in July and August 2025, which also subtitle the concept as "THE GROOM BRIDE STRIPPED BARE BY A BACHELOR OF...".
Significance: It appears to be an artistic, philosophical statement regarding the ongoing relevance of Duchamp's concept (specifically in "451 Rhawn Gallery" in Philadelphia) and the evolution of Dadaist principles into a new, contemporary, and often digital, form (cosmodada).
The phrase suggests that in the contemporary, post-modern, or "cosmodada" era, Duchamp's act of choosing everyday objects as art--has evolved into a new, cosmic interpretation.

Discoveries make history, and certainly not the other way around. A discovery is finding something yet unfound. 'Find' has the most relative meaning there, however.
And, yes, there was a continuum-type-feeling of effortlessly slipping in and out (of) the present and time zones previous and forthcoming.

seeing stars
 
I was in a pretty bad automobile accident on Monday at around 11:30 am. A 77 year old woman driver plowed into me from behind as I was waiting at a red light. The woman said she must have passed out, and thus I now know what it is like to be hit by a large object moving at least 40 MPH. Thankfully, I escaped with only being very shaken up and a bump to the back of my head, however, my car is totaled. Immediately after the "big bang" I must have looked just like one of those cartoons where stars orbit around the head, because that's exactly how I felt.

Published in the catalogue of Hans Richter's exhibition opening today at the Galerie des Deux Iles, is the following text (in French) by Duchamp:
"Amateur terminologists, artists, like negroes, are partial to nearly new words.
Hans Richter cinetizes the dynamic but doesn't go so far as to believe that the bottle knows the taste of the wine."
