Are you a Futurist?

10 FUTURIST VALUES Love of danger Energy and fearlessness Courage, audacity and revolt Aggressive action Love of speed Splendour and generosity The beauty of struggle The glory of war Scorn for women Destruction of museums and libraries

Several of them are compelling. A few haven't aged well.

For it's 100th anniversary, the BBC has published an excerpt of Marinetti's Futurist Manifesto.

My first exposure to Futurism was through Ryuichi Sakamoto's work for MIDI, which sampled Marinetti reading from the Futurist Manifesto. You can see futurism's aggressive styling in Sakamoto's album cover B2 Unit, for instance.
