The architecture of cyberspace offers the opportunity to mend the rupture

between how we know the world and how we conceive and execute architecture.

It allows a far greater latitude of experimentation than any previous

architectonic opportunity. It is once again possible to seek to know what is

known and to conceive a corresponding architecture, without always falling

back upon the sacred geometries of ages past. This engagement only makes

architecture more relevant to the world, more in keeping with what is sensed

as a new condition. In fact, architecture's role in articulating spatially

the outlook of an age is strongly reasserted. [1]

Of the various ways in which the futurists saw simultaneity and dynamism,

Umberto Boccioni's was perhaps the most prescient and applicable to the

conditions we are facing. Critical of Balla's literal depiction of forms in

motion, Boccioni sought to capture a sense of time that was implicit in

being. Like Bergson's notion of "duration" as the principle animating the

passage through time rather than the particular form at a given instant,

Boccioni's work observed the lifelessness of a form arrested from motion in

a single instant, and created forms that were condensed records of their own

becoming, past and future both being contained in the vector of the present.

It is perhaps not too surprising that Boccioni's sense of and Deleuze's

time-image would both draw upon, and thus be connected by, Bergson. What is

surprising is that Deleuze and Boccioni, especially the latter's Unique Form

of Continuity in Space of 1913 and related works both anticipate and can be

expressed by the tools and concepts of scientific visualization, especially

isosurfaces.[2]

Our surprise is only the result of our forgetting; in his 1913 Manifesto,

Marinetti is explicit: "...we should express the infinite smallness that

surrounds us, the imperceptible, the invisible, the agitation of atoms, the

Brownian movements, all the exciting hypotheses and all the domains explored

by the high-powered microscope. To explain: I want to introduce the infinite

molecular life into poetry not as a scientific document but as an intuitive

element. It should mix, in the work of art, with the infinitely great

spectacles and dramas, because this fusion constitutes the integral

synthesis of life".[3]
