Machine Art
“It is in part through the aesthetic appreciation of natural forms that man has carried on his spiritual conquest of nature’s hostile chaos. Today man is lost in the far more treacherous wilderness of industrial and commercial civilization. On every hand machines literally multiply our difficulties and point our doom. [If] we are to end the divorce between industry and culture we must assimilate the machine aesthetically as well as economically. Not only must we bind Frankenstein —but we must make him beautiful.”
