"In one instance, Marinetti's article turned on a new chapter of the time, and many figures with infinite energies emerged in this prosperous movement," Su says.

He says futurism came into being as one of the fruits of the Second Industrial Revolution. "Industry was viewed by people then as a huge beast created by the humankind and growing to be even more powerful. And the great power of industry was depicted as beautiful and sometimes, violent."

Works of futurism extolled speed, power and high efficiency, as well as the art of machine and the labor needed for industrialization. They show people's satisfaction with a cleaner, safer and more efficient working environment because of the new technology and inventions of the Second Industrial Revolution and the social development that came with it.
