    One of the other interesting results of futurism is its effect on comics. The obsession with capturing movement in still images created a style which is the direct origin of all those motion lines that a lot of comic strips use when things are zooming about.

      Totally! They also played around with blurring the lines between poetry and visual art. They'd jack around with typeface or font, or the words would become red or dissipate off into the distance... they created a whole vocabulary of things to do with the point where visual art ended and the written word began, which is still being harvested for sequential art that combines words and images.

      Except Futurism has never left. Many skyscrapers are inspired by Futurism, some architects like to call themselves neo-Futurists and our economic system enforces Futurism. We live in a society that is aesthetically fascist and like it or not, these aesthetics carry ideas.

    • @lambdacalculus3505
      @lambdacalculus3505 4 роки тому +1

      Marinetti's futurism was by nature a humanist project. He desired a system that the whole of humanity could reap its benefits from -- an ironic stance for someone who claimed to despise Utilitarianism and its pleasure arithmetic. Every cause he promoted acted either as an alter to sacrifice himself on or an idol to worship. Marienetti was half moralist, half politician, and overall a half poet. Recalling Nietzsche, the will to a system connotes a lack of integrity in an individual. Maybe this is telling.

      The soviets knew better than anyone what power art can have. One of the reasons why their revolution workt, was because socialist and communist artists cultivated a deep discontent in the rusian workingclass. Once, because of the war, food was scarce, the disconted resulted in a movement to create better livingconditions for the workingclass.
      Once the revolution was over and Stalin got power, creating a mindset of content was neccesarry. So he got rid of all this talk of a better wold. The workers shold think, that they already live, in the better world.

    Eh... What? That entire quote, the entire purpose of the act, was not to be bad. It was the show in-and-of-itself! He did that to create fights, to exalt the futurist manifesto into reality. To claim that an artist of such prestige be a bad person for practicing his art is preposterous. Take your moralism somewhere else, it just shows the pettiness and inability for the liberal mindset for new-thinking and progress.

      A manifesto is a description of how something can come to be. Technically speaking, we produce manifestos all the time when we make reports and analysis that feature a description of our conditions, and how to go from where we are to reach some goal. We just usually describe it using a different word than "manifesto".
