Futurism is an artistic and social movement that emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in Italy, characterized by its embrace of modern technology, speed, and dynamism. It sought to break away from traditional forms of art and culture, celebrating innovation and the potential of the new industrial age. Futurism advocated for a radical transformation of society, glorifying concepts such as energy, movement, and the dynamic character of contemporary life, while often expressing disdain for the past and historical conventions. Its ideologues believed that art should reflect the modern experiences and aspirations of people living in a rapidly changing world. The movement significantly influenced various fields, including literature, visual arts, architecture, and music, and is often associated with a bold and aggressive aesthetic that sought to convey the excitement of the modern era. Prominent figures in the movement, such as Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, emphasized themes of speed, technology, and warfare, aligning with the revolutionary spirit of the time.
