futurism influenced the literary genre of cyberpunk. artists who came to prominence in the first flush of the internet, such as stelarc and mariko mori, produced work influenced by futurist ideas. a revival of sorts of the futurist movement began in 1988 with the creation of the neo-futurist style of theatre in chicago, which uses futurism's focus on speed and brevity to create a new form of immediate theatre. there are active neo-futurist troupes in chicago, new york, and montreal.
