Following the funding round, which will take Relativity’s total cash raised to $685 million, the company’s value is expected to rise to $2.3 billion. The investment will reportedly be led by new contributors Tiger Global and Fidelity, and supported by long standing investors Social Capital, Playground Global, Y Combinator, Bond Capital and Tribe Capital. Modernism, then, must become not only a mirror reflecting present-day tempo, but a sieve that shall filter, evaluate and preserve those aspects in life and in art that have proved themselves to be the most beautiful in the lives of men since the beginning.Californian 3D printed rocket manufacturer Relativity Space is in the process of raising $500 million in Series D funding, “people familiar with financing” have told CNBC. Thus, we may infer that no new art form is possible except through the variation of geometric forms. Previous cultures have been unconscious and it is no longer possible to return to this state. This geometric permanency has resulted in a self-conscious culture because everything has been analyzed to create it. This means that any future step would be a revert to the past and this is expressed in the craze for antiques and old fashions. Because of this ultimate it is impossible to advance further in the technique of art. It is obvious that there can be no improvement upon the straight line and curve, the square, triangle and circle, and other elementary geometric forms. All art through the ages has been a striving through various forms both simple and complex, grotesque and beautiful, to attain this ideal permanency. Modernistic art is a perfect geometric permanency. The refreshing spirit exuded by modern art proves that true art is simplicity of line obtained through conscious application of the principles of cosmic unity by contact with nature. The art of the futurist which is considered new and is much misunderstood is nothing but the expression of a new era of intelligence in which superstitions have been cast to the four winds and a return to nature has been manifested. The grotesque expression in Gothic art is evidence of the type of people living in the middle ages. For example, the designs in a Chinese rug are unintelligible to one who has not traced their origin and evolution. The psychology of a nation can be analyzed through its artistic expression. Throughout the ages these designs became conventionalized and their origins hidden due to the influence of different superstitions. Since the earliest times man has manifested design in everything he uses, unconsciously deriving the principles from nature. He fashions pottery, weaves cloth, constructs machinery, builds skyscrapers, all of which is a designing process, growth or evolution. As the universe was created so man creates. Every design is a manifestation of something greater than itself. Nature, man and material things are cosmic unity in concrete form. Geometry, a study of lines, is an example of cosmic unity in an abstract form. Thus a predominance of any one of them gives a desired effect.Īll of these forms have their origin in the cosmos, the harmony of all things of which we are a part. Curves suggest graceful movement horizontals, peace and calm verticals, idealism diagonals, force and vividness. Each of these lines has its own aesthetic significance. Motifs are designs in themselves composed of curves, horizontals, verticals, and diagonals, which when applied in their simplest forms become circles, ellipses, squares, rectangles, triangles, etc. WHAT is a design? A design is a combination of various motifs harmonized to form a rhythmic pattern.
