Abstract

El café de nadie by Arqueles Vela and Suenan Timbres by Luis Vidales, both published in 1926, develop the theme of the machine as a device that transforms the perception of the surroundings. The urban representation and the relentless pursuit of new expressive ways and unprecedented levels of reality achieve a mixture between the natural and technological worlds. This leads to hybrid between nature and machine under a perspective that moves between an apocalyptic perception and the worship of modernity, which is fleeting, transient and arbitrary.
