'WHO WE ARRR!' We are the Futurist movement ! An Italian avant garde movement founded in the early 20th century - Feb 20, 1909. Our role leader or the front liner was an artist and writer by the name - Fillipo Tommaso Marienetti.
We love the rush and are pumping with the youth that indulged in the art of writing and painting, our blood rushes with love for sound, speed, technology and the idea of modernity & VIOLENCE!
WE love the industrial world ranging from everything technological like, cars, the city, aeroplanes and machinery, this idea gives my body chills and makes me want to scream for for enjoyment - this to us is euphoria!
'MOSHPIT! MOSHPIT! MOSHPIT!'
We have an obsession for movement and we are very much intrigued by this phenomena - this is also why our art is heavily influenced by viability.
The aesthetic of speed, the complexities of technology, disrupt noise and the mechanical energy of modern, industrial world.
Its dynamic and has a rushing energy of modernity (bodies in motion)
Everything should be fast! Have movement and rush because in order to defy the norms of the past we must move forward and forth to the future, until we achieve this end-state we will not stop! Even if it means war, which we are totally up for!
War in itself is an art, we need to stop living in the past!
We Glorify the future the conventional arts - The modern arts are incapable of of capturing the essance of the new reality in something radically innovative and fresh to the people who are soo trapped by the past.
We are frustrated by the traditional norms and state of things, of having to live in history and glorifying Italy's past with museums and libraries and all that crap!
We look forward to war, Marienetti felt the only way to be closer to our dreams is to contest the system and fight, a fight that would result in a war!
At around this time WWI (world war 1) was on its horizon and felt it suited absolutely great if they went to war, because its war time.
Our primary focus was to convince people, and our revolution was to achieve clarity and justice in the flthe arts and society
'THEY DONT WANNA HEAR US!' When we say Italy is not great anymore we are at the bottom of the pit, we are nothing and we forever be nothing if we keep living through our past! That's why we stain the past and wish it not be anymore!
Italy was not hearing us, they reject the machine age and don't recognise our motives, saying what we do is outlandish and will result in an entirely new world order and even a renewed/different state of consciousness
Our whole motive is influenced by politics and war - we go down in history as one of the most politicised art movements in the 20th century.
We make politics and art one thing, whether it be in a form of written poetry or literature or a giant sculpture or a work of art like paintings and graphic designs.
We produce art that is filled with geometric angular forms, that are also repeated alot, the use of bright colours and vivid images that give an idea of vibrancy and variability, its non stop, constant flow of movement.
The political agendas we follow are said to be too strong to be translated to the officials, soo we translate it through our art to get our message across they way we want it to and have more of an intimate affect on the people receiving it.
