Machinery and engineering combines precision and ingenuity with raw power and strength. Many art movements, such as the Futurists, were committed to capturing the dynamism of the inventions of their day. Machinery serves as a reminder of humanities progress while also reflecting back to use the strength of our own bodies. By turning functional objects into visual subjects, art can reveal unexpected beauty in the mechanical world.
