Overview

History

Panfuturism originated in Ukraine. ^{[2] [3]} Mykhaylo Semenko developed it in 1914. ^[4]

Principles

Semenko outlined the following principles of Panfuturism in an essay, "What Panfuturism wants": ^[5]

• Panfuturism "wants to be a scientific system which is attained by its being a system universal and synthetic." ^[5]
• The goal of Panfuturism is to "abolish all 'isms' which is attained by neutralizing them...by regarding every single case as a private problem of the polyproblematic organism of art." ^[5]
• Panfuturism is a "proletarian system of art." ^[5]
• Panfuturism is an "organizational art." ^[5]
• Panfuturism "is the whole art." ^[5]
• Panfuturism "is at once Futurism, Cubism, Expressionism and Dadaism." ^[5]
