Futurism

The Futurism
Diving over City by Tullio Crali, 1936




Futurism was presented as a modernist movement celebrating the technological, future era. The car, the plane, the industrial town were representing the motion in modern life and the technological triumph of man over nature. Some of these ideas, specially the use of modern materials and technique, were taken up later by Marcel Duchamp (French, 1887-1968), the cubist, the constructivist and the dadaist.

On the other hand, present the object in all its solidity, almost indeed simulating its projection into the space which contains and conditions it.
In it, we find various fruitful and vivid intuitions concerning the near future, and ,at the same time laborious revivals of declining themes which had already had their day.

I found that Futurism included many elements that I interested in my project, such as speed, cityscapes, engines, and visual fragments.

When Futurism tries to delete the boundary of the scale, cities, and cultures in the first 20th, on the same way, my project focused on shrinking down the city scale and blowing up the small and dynamic engine.

By surveying and experimenting the scale, speeds, and visual elements of the cityscape and car engine, I try to figure the new potential of the city development.
