The Time Poetics: an approach to aesthetic imaginary Steampunk
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
This work is presented as a reflection on how the artistic phenomenon and building techniques have dramatically changed over the second half of the 20th Century, essentially focusing on the human- technology relationship. This proposal will lead us from the very origins of the Victorian England's Industrial Revolution to nowadays. We will also focus on how it is moved from a concept of progress purely conceived through techno-scientific to the advanced rejection of itself through counterculture and retrofuturism, diving into all the imaginary ones which emerged from it. By a future that never existed and past times that may have been but never ocurred, the retrofuturism give the artist such a great opportunity to reflect upon himself, carried away by his own and most critical side towards capitalism and the "Do It Yourself" movement.
