futurist manifesto >>
F.T. Marinetti never met a technology he didn't like.
For him and the other Futurists, many of them based in
Milan, Italy, the techno-revolution brought on by cars,
planes, phonographs, electricity and the like, was perfect
for reinventing what it meant to be an artist. The wicked
combo of art and technology could be used to transform
social consciousness and bring to life the "simultaneity
and interpenetration of different times and places."

[from the opening:]
"To admire an old picture is to pour our sensibility into a funeral urn
instead of casting it forward with violent spurts of creation and action.
Do you want to waste the best part of your strength in a useless
admiration of the past, from which you will emerge exhausted, diminished,
trampled on?" |
