The machine was a primary concern for the futuristi. As well as being a material tool in the factory it was a social and political agent, an aesthetic emblem, a metonymy of modernity and international circulation and a living symbol of past crafts and technologies. Exploring literature, the visual and performing arts, photography, music and film, the book uses the lens of European machine culture to elucidate the work of a broad set of artists and practitioners, including Censi, Depero, Marinetti, Munari and Prampolini. The machine emerges here as an archaeology of technology in modernity: the time machine of futurism.Manchester scholarship online.Futurism (Literary movement)ItalyMachinery in artFuturism (Art)ItalyElectronic books. avant-garde.futurism.industrial.machine art.machine.modernism.modernity.technology.transnational.utopia / dystopia.Futurism (Literary movement)Machinery in art.Futurism (Art)700.945Pizzi Katia1638613MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910817501603321Italian futurism and the machine4073044UNINA
