Futurism

Futurism is an avant-garde movement founded in 1909 by an Italian poet known as Filipino Marinetti. It is an art movement that focuses on the power and vitality of the machine and modern life. These art expressions usually revolved around painting or sculpture.

The art style is when contemporary things in the world are stylised through photography to have a futuristic feel to them. For example, the shots would be long exposure, so that light trails in the image give the photo a futuristic touch, whilst being only a camera technique. Futurist photographers also make use of lines very frequently, for example, they would use more modern appearing buildings with flat lines.
