'The Futurists' Dream' / 'Il Sogno Futurista'...

'περί αἴσθησις'

'KRVAVA GRUDA - PLODNA ZEMLJA!'
–
'BLOODY GROUND - FERTILE LAND!'

'The Life of a 'Repoman' is Intense!'
The Minimal for the Maximal!
To take all back into thy own hands which had been thine since the dawn of Time! Be it thy Life, thy Death, thy Wonder of the Light, and, yes, even thy Horror of the Darkness, but thine at least!

And this New Body State of the Art shaped by modern Croatia's 'Fiume' surely does the generally ungrateful yet ever well-rewarded job through its underlying undercurrents in deeply pulsating ominous streams of consciousness, all the fear and all the pain of mortal Man, silenced by the phantom mantra voices of the Hades, all through this nervous muscle tension that forever remains under the carpet-bombed skin of Man's crude and violent past.

To brutally redefine in the most refined and deadly vibrating dream sleep narcosis way of what seems to remind to what had been done in like way by some of NY's most outspoken spaced-out spaced-aged sons of a gun superfreaks during those wonderfully and most intensely self-destructive brutal times of the 'superspeed superseventies' 'autothanatocracia': one either commits Homocide or one commits SUICIDE!

Once a most libertine self-proclamated 'free city-state' of 'Fiume', 'Stream', in and around nowaday's Croatia's 'Rijeka', had lasted, right after 'la Grande Guerre', little more than a year under the visionary 'messianic' guidance of Italy's then already quite notorious writer, poet-'warrior', airplane pilot, dandy extravagant and 'cavalier', Gabriele d'Annunzio…

From before Benito Mussolini turned the 'Movement' into how we know it as of to-day: 'Fascist', that is, repressive, a-cultural, narrow-minded, etc., etcetera! When claiming the future was still a beautiful dream, for each one own's personal variation, and, oh, there had been quite some 'variation' back in these 'electric days'! But Italy's Futurists' published manifestos between 1909 and 1913 truly paved the way for all these electric eclectic visionary dreamers of Europe to try to change their own, no, even the whole world, and to make it, claim it as theirs! It was all about ACTION, KOSMIK POWER, LEADERSHIP, SPEED, MACHINES,
INTENSE EXPERIENCE and such, but all with a most Platonic or Aristotelian or Messianic, or otherwise cosmical, mystical, mysterious, mythic, but also most integrated techno-organic 'total worldview', with each and every one's own version of some ultimate 'Wagnerian' 'Gesamtkunstwerk' blending to find somehow someway some philharmonic 'max' in all of the known human domain of knowledge, they simply wanted, no, needed it àll to fullfill their burning lucid dreams!
Science, Technology, Philosophy, Theater, Art, Poetry, Music, Health, Architecture,Urban Planning, State Politics, Economy, War, Education,
Gastronomy, Aesthetics, Sociology, Religion, Esotherica, Sex, or, Goddamnit, yes, even horse riding, really anything integrated into anything!

At the same time, despite their glorification of the latest and most fast
industrial war technology they were too weird and wild, too critical and sensitive,too unique and singular, too holistic and broad-minded to be handled, controlled and accepted by the then rapidly upcoming capitalist military-industrial powers of Europe that would very soon after these first manifestos set the world ablaze in the first global war ever, for these had already completely revolved into extremely 'reducing' the whole world with the most massively up-scaled and 'inhumane' serial reproduction, and so into literrally blowing àll of it to bits! Truly a movement simply destined to be doomed to be taken over by much more socially opportune and much less dreamy people within 15 years...

For the real Futurism is Man's Survival, and so the Earth's for we live on it, which means also to look back at the same time: our ancestors' past had gathered Man many millions of years of experiencing trial and error, true fundamental research and development:
Either you live or you die! Man's Body and his oldest survival set of diverse skills and instruments that have shaped us as we are now, is his best technology, the real smart-tech is low-tech that at least has proven over the many millenia that it all keeps working on such long terms!

MAN IS BOTH THE ANIMAL ÀND THE MACHINE!
THE PROTO-MANIMAL MANDRILL SURVIVAL MACHINE!

The Futurist must look to the proto-human, the archaic, the classic, the Renaissance, even the 'early-modern' and the industrial revolution Era and learn all about it, and learn how to validate it to make it his own and so to enable himself to really make it in the far-out, and God knows pretty 'fucked up' Future, by understanding all about himself, his body and mind, and all the other 'things' around him, and surely nòt be blinded by our own self-imaged 'Godlike''Logic', for 'tis surely a véry good tool, but nothing more than thàt: a super-instrument allowing us to expand many other super-technology, incl. language, law, social organisation, scientific methodology, a super-instrument that indeed had given us a most enlightening Artifice of 'Paradise' on Earth, that yet seems also to lead us more and more into to the Blind, for its 'advancing', fore-seeing, premeditating Light may just as well have become a li'l bit tóó bright for us pity little mortals.
I guess any 'Paradise' must come along with its own intrinsic 'Snake' lying hidden deep down the verdure of the thicket within:

'En el oscuro de la noche
Escondido en la verdura
La amada èn el Amado
Transformada'...
(San Juan de la Cruz)

'Of the Love he'd found in huts were poor men lie'
(William Wordsworth)

'Sì, Amici, FUTURISTA - ATAVISTA, Eja, Eja, Alalà!'...

Yours sincerely,
