Development of Dada Idea

Having created my dada piece, I was not satisfied that it was creative enough, and over the week a few new ideas aroused in my thoughts. In a conversation, the topic of social networking came up and how pointless some of it can be. For example, uploading a picture of your meal to instagram is basically pointless. Or making a 6 second Vine of your cat 'singing' is also pointless.
This then lead me to the idea of creating a completely random blog, and then hiding a meaning inside of the gibberish and seeing if people would spot it. 
I created a very simple and clean blog, titled 'DadaRT', but did not tell anyone about it. Over the next few days I posted text posts, which looked like my non-existent cat had walked over my keyboard. 

However, in each post there were one or two actual words, that when connected made the sentence 'Even in the most complicated texts, you may find meaning.' A little phrase that I think is clever enough to be hidden in all that text and then be considered as dada. I feel that piece tackles the idea of dada and pointless art in a much more logical and thought out way, compared to my previous attempt.
