This is AWESOME!!!!
I found this on youtube and have been fascinated with the building of robots out of smoke.

Look at this painting above by Severini, it came out of Italy in 1915. It is from a Movement called Futurism , spawned out of the first mechanized war WWI. ( Industrialized murder by machine).
This link is a great sampling of some of the work to come out of this movement.
I see a the above YouTube video and the Japanese Mecha world as an evolution to the futurist movement in art not only in style but of medium, Oil verses Computer.
I'll get back to that later. I just wanted to share this with you.
