Futurism

Futurism is an early 20th-century artistic and social movement that embraced modernity, technology, and speed, celebrating the dynamic energy of the future. It often contrasted with Expressionism, which focused on emotional experience, and Utopianism and Dystopianism, which envision ideal or nightmarish societies. Futurists sought to break from the past, promoting a vision of progress through innovation and machine age aesthetics. They valued the power of art to shape society and inspire change, envisioning a vibrant, sometimes chaotic future driven by human creativity and industrial advancement.
