speed and energy
the techno-scene of the 20's revisited




"the inability of human beings to control themselves, is shameful in the presence of machines;
but what to do, if the flawless functioning of electricity arouses us more than the disorderly
mad rush of active people and the enervating slackness of passive people?"
(dziga vertov)
