Analysis Of Futurism Movement And Its Use In Different Forms Of Media

This art movement started around 1909 in Italy, it was quite a strange movement for its time as it heavily rejected the traditional forms of art that were primarily done around this time. The leading artist that launched this trend into the norm was Filippo Marinetti but ended in 1918. The events of the Futurism movement mainly and widely influenced artists in Russia like Malevich and Mayakovski, but another artist helped it to be known and helped make some important pieces that made it famous was an Italian artist known as Boccini Futurism has been used in all forms of media throughout the years, like films, books and games. But why is this? I think because the movement was so unique and each person who uses this art style in one of their projects always puts their own spin and design on it and makes it their own, by doing this their work becomes recognisable because of this movement.

Game: The game I am going to talk about that uses this style is called “horizon zero dawn” This is a PS4 exclusive that’s uses the futurism style in the game as a unique style to use by also it is talked about in the story as for why the games environment looks the way it does. This game bleeds in nature and metal to create its beautiful futurism styled world. The game is set in the far future where technology has taken over and now humans have been pushed back to the stone age but with new materials at hand that they got from the giant walking metal animals about the place. The way the game fuses Nature and future tech is amazing with giant sky scrapers fallen over the place. This is a beautiful game mainly because of its futurism art style that is has chosen to take.

Movie: The movie that I will talk about is “Ready Player One”. This movie is based on the novel of the same name published in 2011 by Ernst cline. But today I will be talking about the movie released in 2018, the story sets itself up in the year 2045 where the world is in overpopulation and clawing to get another world known as the OASIS, this is where the main plot of the movie takes place, the OASIS is a virtual Reality world that the everyone use, the main story of the movie and book is that the games creator who passed away left and Easter egg in the game that will give over his fortune and the company he created. The real world that ready player one creates is quite interesting as it shows the rice company’s and how all there buildings look at and how they advance through the years and then it shows us the other end of the spectrum with showing how the middle class lives which is in mobile homes stacked on top of each other creating sky scrapers of homes.

The way all the houses are just stacked on top of each other makes it look like it’s a poor world but in reality, it’s a very high-tech city with advanced technology. As you can see with the picture below the main character is in a rundown 20th century van but with new VR technology. The futurism style made this film look unique because if they had to have used normal middle-class house then it wouldn’t look as interesting.

Animation: The animated movie I have decide to talk about is the Disney movie “Meet the Robinsons”, this Disney movie is a time travelling movie where the scenes change from past to future. In the future they use weird designs of houses that are in the futurism style like house’s design the shape of robot faces or giant R buildings in the movie’s city.

The designs of the houses that have been created too look like robot faces give the movie that weird style of its environment. The world of the movie uses part of different art but a takes inspiration from futurism with the weird and odd building designs that give the viewer a more interested approach for watching the film as they want to find out more about the movies world.The movie is about a kid inventor that goes into the future so you can see the state the inventions changes, as you can see the in the first picture you can see one of these inventions and how it is made out of household items and scrape but then in later scenes of the movie it changes and has a more futuristic look as it has been upgraded.

Artist: One of the most famous futurism artists is Umberto Boccioni who is an Italian painter but also a sculptor and theoretician. Umberto is known as one of the most prominent and influential artists in the futurism movement. He changed up the style a little bit by being one of the first artist to introduce visual innovations that helped to create the dynamic, cubist – like style that is linked to futurism. Sadly, Boccioni died at the young age of 33 as he was a volunteer in the Italian army around the time of the First World War. But his death helped to make him emblematic of the futurist’s celebration of the violent force of modernity.He borrowed some of the geometric forms that are usually linked to a French style of art to help create the futurism style we all know now.
