Mechanical Philosophy in the first half of 20th Century. Innovation and resonances

Abstract

It is in the early twentieth century when the transition occurs from figurative to abstract, from reality to i-reality or what is intellectualized. It is considered one of the most important moments of the modern era for both Science and Art; when a deep dimensional transformation of language and technical methods occur from new scientific discoveries, of great importance for future events. The technical reality has raised new sensations and have triggered sensibilities based on criteria derived from mechanical precision and scientific aspects of the moment. Would this claim confirm that the technical experience or Mechanical Philosophy has been assimilated by the artistic sensibility, expression introduced by TS Eliot in 1929, supported by Lewis Mumford in 1934 and reafirmed by Siegfried Giedion in 1941; and vice versa, that creative sensibilities have been assimilated by the Mechanical Philosophy?
