Salvador Dalí 1939 wikipedia
Beyond painting, Dalí functioned as a living performance, deliberately blurring art, ego, myth, and spectacle. He understood attention as a medium and paradox as a tool.
Dalí’s relevance to Hitchhiker culture lies in his ability to break linear causality and expose hidden logic beneath absurdity. He reminds systems that rationality alone cannot describe lived reality.
In science fiction, Dalí appears less as an artist than as a reality distortion event, disrupting Congress proceedings simply by existing.
