 Literary Encyclopedia: Futurism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Thus, from the first manifesto onwards, the Futurists vied to devise the most sneering attacks on the culture of museums, regarded as akin to cemeteries for art, and to outline the purest aesthetics of speed, modernity and power.
The 1909 manifesto's opening narrative of departure and rebirth, as Marinetti races off in his automobile only to crash into a ditch filled with factory waste, with its subsequent aestheticisation of the industrial and the urban, set the pattern for the imagery and tone of all subsequent Futurist works.
Hence, many Futurist poems retain fairly traditional forms, only distinguished by an extravagant use of machine imagery and terminology which is explicitly opposed to the language of nature conventionally used in lyrical verse, and where technology ultimately informs the poem's subject matter – crowds, cars, aeroplanes, trains – more than its form.

Manifestoes were published also for music, first in July 1912 by Ballila Pratella, and Russolo devoted much of his time to experiments with music created by a battery of noise machines.

However, while the Futurist vision of a machine world was brilliantly expressed aesthetically, it was doomed to ultimate failure because it was coupled with fascist ideology.
In retrospect it’s easy to be dismissive of the Futurists for their close connections to Benito Mussolini, but their rhetoric was remarkably similar in tone to things I hear and read today.
The Futurist glorification of patriotism, love of the military, empire and strong leadership, along with a militant disdain for pacifists and feminists - begs the question, "How do you know you are not a fascist?" Perhaps we’ll find the answer by studying the Wolfsoniana collection of artworks prompted by Italy’s bygone totalitarians.

Throughout the history of the cinema, radicals and reactionaries alike have used the film manifesto as a means of stating key their aesthetic and political goals.
Despite the wide variety of ideological and political points-of-view put forth in film manifestoes, the rhetorical stances adopted by the writers--which foregrounded both an urgent call to arms and a profoundly undialectical form of argumentation--lead to a certain similarity in the cinematic manifesto genre.
Because of the programmatic, proclamatory nature of most manifesto writing--which is an unavoidable occurrence, precisely because of the inflammatory nature of the discourse involved--the intended outcomes of manifestoes were, for the most part, hopelessly doomed; yet this hopelessness added to the nihilistic romance of dramatic intervention in the public sphere.

Gino Severini (1883-1966) was one of the leading painters of the Italian futurist movement, which proposed a radical renovation of artistic activity in keeping with the dynamism of modern mechanized life.
He was one of the five artists who signed the Futurist Manifesto in 1910, and he took part in the historic exhibitions of the futurist group in Paris, London, and Berlin.
Severini's pictures, painted in Seurat's clear colors, influenced the cubists to lighten their palette, and his personal contribution was to combine the futurist program with the analytical and geometrical spirit of cubism.

"Manifesto: A Century of Isms," edited by Mary Ann Caws, gathers together the glorious, the histrionic and the just plain nutty pronouncements made by various artists and loudmouths at the outbreak of modernism.
Caws says that on principle she ruled out secondary, merely critical selections: the manifestos and statements included had to be "written by a practitioner of the particular art movement." But this artists-only rule is not absolutely enforced.
In her introduction, Caws notes that "If the Postmodernist manifesto shrugs off [Modernist] nostalgia, it has often a kind of dryness that undoes its energy": her words certainly apply, not just to the language poets but to many of book's more contemporary manifestos.

Important to understanding the Futurists' perception and use of simultaneity is the meaning given by context to various terms associated with the discussion.
Ultimately, simultaneity in the art of the Futurists was a synthesis of scientific and philosophical thought combined with a visual and felt sense of the energy of the machine age: a concurrence of space, time, and energy.
Marinetti's original manifesto declares the Futurists' intent "to glorify" energy and to "(hurl) forth in violent gushes of action and productiveness." Communicating movement was an essential element to Futurist art and in the discourse on dimension.

Your response can be personal in nature (e.g., "I find Marinetti's futurist manifesto irresponsible"), or, even better, it can present your interpretation of how a key passage relates the the entire text (e.g., "the act of murdering moonshine is essential for the futurists' masculinist gender politics").
Section one of the manifesto serves to illuminate the serendipity involved in Marinetti's discovery of the principles of futurism.
Insomnia, speed, courage, danger and modern transportation are not only constitutive for the futurist car crash, but also find their way into the value system (this is particularly the case with points one through five) that Marinetti hopes to cultivate into war, destruction and revolution (points nine through eleven).
