Who We AreFounded by Joseph Young in 2007 – The Neo Futurist Collective consists of a group of highly accomplished artists who have come together to celebrate urban noise in all its’ visual and aural forms. Inspired by the Milan Futurists and the Art of Noises manifesto (Luigi Russolo, 1912), as well the poetics of the Dada movement, the collective are arch-modernists; united in the hope of a positive future where technology, art and humanity will unite to overcome pessimism, despondency and futile utopianism in all its spurious forms. (Re)Awakening of a City!In an era of global warming and terrorism, we ask, how is it possible to revisit a pivotal artistic moment in 1913, the first performance of the revolutionary symphony Awakening of a City; born out of the build-up to the First World War and of which only the first seven bars remain, and respond to its call for the celebration of urban NOISE??? A group of artists drawn from the fields of visual, performance, video and sound art will attempt to transform the everyday language of urban sounds and visual junk (such as spam emails and billboard advertising) into a true multi-media experience to do just that; asking us to question our assumptions about what is beautiful in a modern world of information overload.
