Apocryphal Pataphysics

Pataphysics, at once a literary trope and a branch of philosophy (and science), has influenced an array of prominent artists, writers, and musicians since the early 20th century. Members of the Paris-based Collège de 'Pataphysique have included Marcel Duchamp, Raymond Queneau, Man Ray, Max Ernst, Fernando Arrabal, and the Marx Brothers.
