Abstrakt
My bachelor work focuses on the vision of Soviet Russian ultra-taylorist Alexei Gastev and his fascination with turning man into steel, and so into a machine. Gastev`s ideas are compared to broadly contemporaneous discussions in avant-garde arts, specifically to the programme of the constructivist group. In addition to an overview of his thoughts and intentions I examine the political ideology of Gastev, showing possible similarities of him and the Italian futurists. The inevitable relationship with the USSR’s political regime is looked into, and reviewed on ideological and practical levels regarding Gastev’s life and work.
