The Foundational Text’s a Crypto Art: F.T. Marinetti’s ”The Futurist Manifesto”

For this one, Colborn and Max go way back to 1909, because it was there that F.T. Marinetti announced an intention to embrace speed, technological advancement, violence, militarism, growth, and acceleration at all costs. Yes, The Futurist Manifesto —patron document of Futurism— is somewhat freaky, but throughout he course of our conversation, it's clear what Marinetti's vision aligns itself with crypto art's present moment in some pretty eerie ways.

Also we keep misremembering Marinetti's name, so that'll be fun to listen to. Shame on us!
