Right now I'm recording a Mori Calliope vinyl album released in 2022 to a cassette that was probably manufactured in the mid 2000s using a Sony deck that was made in the 90s.

Aww, is that really the history of the term/movement/thing? :( I vaguely remember it being an Italian art trend, didn't know it was fash

In other news, I think I might have hosed up the recording levels on my tape. The kick drums on the first track of the 2nd side consistently pushed the meters into the red. Figured HUGE W would be the loudest track on the album but I was wrong.

It's a newer Type 1 tape I think so it might still be okay. Gonna check in a few minutes. Stay Tuned for futher developments

Sadly, it kind of is. I mean nowadays it means people who talk about the future on television shows and writers who gargle techbro sperm while claiming the Metaverse is right around the corner, but the original futurists were mostly even more terrible people.

As a 40 year-old Millennial, I think we expected too much from the future, and possibly too soon. I thought we were cynical in the 90s, turns out the upcoming generations are REALLY going to show us what cynicism looks like as they come of age.

Wikipedia posted:

One of the proposed settings for these "perfect meals" incorporated the Futurist love of machinery. The diners would eat in a mock aircraft, whose engines' vibrations would stimulate the appetite.

I mean, I like to zone out to machinery sounds too but I can't say they ever did much for my digestion.

What else we got...

Wikipedia posted:

Traditional kitchen equipment would be replaced by scientific equipment, bringing modernity and science to the kitchen. Suggested equipment included:

Ozonizers葉o give food the smell of ozone
Ultraviolet ray lamps葉o activate vitamins and other "active properties"
Electrolyzers葉o decompose items into new forms and properties
Colloidal mills葉o pulverize any food item
Autoclaves, dialyzers, atmospheric and vacuum stills葉o cook food without destroying vitamins
Chemical indicators or analyzers葉o help the cook determine if sauces need more salt, sugar, or vinegar

:stare:

Wikipedia posted:

Futurist cooking emphasized presentation and multisensory impression, revelling in transgression and shock value. As the historian Carol Helstosky demonstrates, "food sculptures and seemingly odd food pairings (meat and cologne or mussels and vanilla creme) heightened the tactile and sensory experience of the meal."

I had to listen to a futurist at work once. I asked him how we will tackle our failures in producing robust infrastructure to support our energy consumption, and how we can transition people into new employment as their skills lose value in light of changing work. He said governments tend to find solutions for those things.

Cracked me up because we were the government agency tasked with doing that latter thing. And he just dodged the energy question altogether.

It痴 a scam.

While the modern American view is to associate Futurism strictly with its Italian version, the movement reached far further than that, and took on many forms. There were a number of Russian futurists, for example, who later became split on the issue of the revolution, running the full gamut of hostile to enthusiastic. The latter included the great revolutionary poet and artist Vladimir Mayakovsky, who was open about his art functioning as agitprop. Meanwhile, you have the Polish Futurist Munifesto on the Eemmeedyet Fyoochooryzayshun of Lyfe, which (you will forgive me for not keeping up with the programmatic alternative spelling) outlined "three fundamental moments of modern life: machine, democracy, and the crowd" and demanded "absolute equal rights for women in all fields of private and public life."

The common threads throughout all strands of futurism were praise for technology and machinery, a veneration of speed and dynamics of modern life, a demand for a complete rebuilding of society, and a contempt for the past, especially its artistic legacy. This often comes with some degree of approval of violence and reverence for war (although there is a very clear caesura here where before WWI war is approved of as an agent of future change, while after the war it is merely met with respect as the impulse that made ongoing social change possible and there is little appetite for more of it).

Munifesto on the Eemmeedyet Fyoochooryzayshun of Lyfe posted:

The all-global war has caused, alongside a great shifting of entire states, strata, and nations, a great shifting in values. The result of this is the cultural crisis seen today all throughout Eastern and Western Europe. Here [tr. note: in Poland, lit. "in our home," "among us"], the crisis manifests itself in a particularly acute and specific form. A century and a half of political enslavement pressed a hard, indelible mark on our entire physiognomy, psyche, and production. Our cultural consciousness could not develop as freely as in Western states. Out of necessity, our entire national energy discharged in the direction of the greatest pressure, towards a laborious and unending struggle for language, life, and own organisations. That direction, the fight for an own national "I" and the building of a tough, unbreakable, all-resistant, and vitally capable psyche, was where Polish art discharged itself as well.

We, the Polish Futurists, hereby pay homage to the Polish bondage-era Romantic poetry, whose phantoms we will now mercilessly hound and finish off, for in the times of great focusing and slow maturing of the Polish Nation it was not "pure" art, but rather a profoundly national art, that it was written in the juices and blood of the rolling life itself, that it was the heartbeat and scream of its day, which all art must be and can only be.

For these same reasons, today, when, with the reclaiming of an independent political existence, Polish life has entered an entirely new phase and has awoken amongst the million problems waiting at the door, which we yesterday simply had no time to think of, and to which we must present an immediate and categorical answer today, unless we want the rising tides to wash over us once more, we call to you:

Long enough has our nation been a cabinet of curiosities, only producing mummies and relics. The mad unstoppable now slams at all our doors and windows, screams, demands, requires. If we cannot stand to create new categories in which to fit it, a new art in which it could sing itself - we will not last.

Also the proper term for what the OP is talking about should be Futurologist, but those guys got owned by Lem so hard they immediately ceased to exist, so
