I think these author ‘s were predicting that the future of art would be based on technology that would enhance the creative process in a fast and productive way. One author spoke about previous art forms that were abstract where the lines and shapes were less obvious to the common eye. Now, with technology lines and grids are used more and easier to see. As artist evolve overtime, some adapt to the new technologies and shape the world of art as it is known today.
El Lissitzky, who produced influential work during the 1920s was concerned about the changes that would be made with material used in his time and the same material used in the advanced technology world/digital world. He thought that technology would continue to evolve as time goes on. He said that “the idea that moves the masses today is called materialism.” This has brought up the question of how technology will be used in the future.
Rodchenko and Lissitzky both believed in the idea of constructivism. Lissitzky’s idea on technology is that though it has evolved it is still based on the original idea. I believe that Rodchenko is also saying technology is evolving. However, Marinetti believed in the idea of futurism. He made comparisons about the past and the future but seems to embrace the future. He mentioned key aspects about futurism such as car, ships and violence. He wrote in his manifesto of futurism “We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: The beauty is speed.”
