- Mécano was edited by Theo van Doesburg [I.K. Bonset] and originally published by De Stijl, Leiden. It was distributed as a supplement to De Stijl and also sold separately. Under the pseudonym I.K. Bonset, Theo van Doesburg published 4 issues of the Dadaist magazine Mécano which "stressed creative principles and new art alongside some of the more familiar Dadaist rejection of the past."
