Isn't there a band out there called The Futurists. I think I acutally downloaded their CD because some celebrity I thought would have good musical taste told me to (yes, I'm a robot), and then I hated it, mostly because I am WAY too old and just need to stick with old Duran Duran and Depeche Mode.

I can't even wrap my head around how current events and capabilities are influencing art and design - I guess I need the benefit of hindsight to see stuff like that. I have been kind of into the Futurists lately, though. There was an article in Slate last summer about the 100th anniversary of the Futurist Manifesto. I can't get behind the philosophy, but I do like the art, especially for where it fits in the larger context of 20th century art and I'm drawn to the way they connected what they believed to a whole way of life and a whole culture. Plus, they wrote a crazy cookbook, and I think that is SO cool. Awesome post.

Thanks for sharing. Not really my type of art, but the “free-word” painting is pretty cool :) My fav of the ones you posted. Thanks for sharing.
