Industrials
Embedded in our everyday experience is society’s connection with technology. Relics of the past and intimations of the future are everywhere. Some of these images qualify for the way that they were thought of, when they were created, as “Monuments of Undying Intellect,” evident in the attention paid to their geometric inventiveness or their elegance. There is a lot of smoke and steam, even fire—visual reminders that we never forgot the gift of fire that goes back to Prometheus. The Industrial Landscapes section reflects the constant change in technology across the nation.
