Remember marinetti's enlightening experience in a car crash- which as I
recall lead to the birth of Futurism?
Man's experience in confronting his newly obtained tool's power. A
machine-fetish was defenitly present back then, and with today's perspective
I can venture and say a mystification of the machine.
In fact, I think, it really doesn't matter if I use a horse, a hammer, a car,
electricity, a computer, nuclear energy- as all of these will never cease
to be a reflection of myself. And I will never cease to use them as my way of
exploring the wilderness of my own mental harddrive.
