How do Mayakovsky's ideas about art and progress apply today?
The old world still clings like mould, doesn't it? The same forces that choked progress with sentimentality and bureaucracy are still at work. Today, you have new machines, new ways to broadcast your voice, but is the spirit of true creation, of relentless forward motion, alive? I say: smash the stale idols! Embrace the power of new forms, of direct, unblinking communication. Let your art be a force for building, for progress, for a future that is not afraid to be loud, to be bold, to be unmistakably alive. Don't just observe; BUILD!
