 U B U W E B :: Giacomo Balla
Balla's text, jotted down in a note-book, is a witty nonsense which anticipates the "Verses without words" of Hugo Ball at the Cabaret Voltaire: "Farcionisgnaco gurninfuturo bordubalotaompimagnusasfacataca mimitirichita plucu sbumu farufutusmaca sgacgnacgnac chr chr stechestecheteretete maumauzizitititititititi".
Balla, needless to say, reserved for himself the hissing sounds, the onomatopoeias' the more delicate verbalizations which issued from his lips interspersed with that memorable Piedmontese 'neh' and with the sound of corks being pulled out of bottles of Frascati by the impenitent and bearded Semenoff, which made everything very intelligently and amusingIy grotesque".
Balla, apart from being the great dynamist-futurist painter and the most tireless intuitive and generous discoverer and inspirer of young artists to be liberated, encouraged, centuplicated and launched forth, is also the renovator of the guitar.

 Giacomo Balla Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Giacomo Balla was born on July 24, 1871, in Turin.
Although Balla was one of five painters who signed the Futurist Manifesto of 1910, he did not take part (despite the fact that his name figured in the catalog) in the important exhibition of futurist painting in Paris in 1912.
It was Balla, however, who that year painted the first, most original, and somewhat witty visual depiction of movement in the novel futurist manner; it depicted the legs of a lady and a dog on a leash in successive phases of the action of walking.

Seemingly the inventor of the necktie that lights up, Balla produced his own manifesto in 1914, which called for reforms in clothing involving ''muscular'' colors and a lot of asymmetry.
And since it was Balla who introduced the group to Divisionism, it is strange that the Kouros selection should include none of his own ''kinetic'' compositions in the style.
As much a designer as a painter and sculptor, Balla had elaborate plans for a Futurist ''heaven,'' some of which he carried out in his own house, whence come a pair of floral wall hangings and a wooden chair painted green and yellow (why does furniture made by diversifying artists invariably seem so punishing?).

Elaborating on Cubism's experiment in fracturing forms into planes, the Futurists further tried to make painting answer to movement: while the Cubists were concentrating on still lifes and portraits—in other words, were examining stationary bodies—the Futurists were looking at speed.
The shapes of the swifts (are there four or forty of them?) repeat in stuttering bands, but their substance seems to evaporate: melting into light, the birds are lost in the paths of their own swooping soar.
Balla knew the photography of Étienne-Jules Marey, which described the movements of animals—including birds—through closely spaced sequences of images; Swifts emulates Marey's scientific visual analysis, which, in Balla's time, subjected "dynamic sensation to scrutiny," but adds to it a sense of exhilarated pleasure.
