The Changing Perspectives of Flight

"The changing perspectives of flight constitute an absolutely new reality that has nothing in common with the reality traditionally constituted by a terrestrial perspective" -  Futurist Manifesto

​Since the Aeropittura painters began their experiments with speed and a shifting horizon in the early years of the last century, much has changed about the way that we perceive flight psychologically.  From its first promethean promises of a great new freedom, to its perception as a flying weapon of terror during the air raids of World War II, through its becoming a projectile weapon itself in the last decade and onto the future where perhaps the greatest tragedy will be its negative environmental impact, brought on not by war but through greed and complacency.
