The machine was a primary concern for the Italian futurists. A tool in the factory, it was also a social and political agent, an aesthetic emblem and a symbol of past technologies. This groundbreaking book explores the culture of machines in Italian futurism after the First World War, taking in literature, art, photography, music and film. -- .
This is the first interdisciplinary exploration of machine culture in Italian futurism after the First World War. 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.
