The exhibition includes works of art that were made over the best part of a century. The theme of art and the machine threads its way through these works that were born out of this fascination with technological progress and the mechanization of society.<\/p>\n<p>The industrial revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries favoured scientific and technological progress and led to many discoveries and innovations. However one had to wait until 1911 for the principal of organization and the technical evolution as defined by Taylor in his work \u00abThe Principles of Scientific Management\u00bb to really kick in and drag our society into modernity. The industrial revolution rocked the western world in every domain: social, political, demographic, military, as well as our society of consommation. Art didn&rsquo;t escape un touched.<\/p>\n<p>The industrial revolution and the sophistication of the machines inspired numerous writers (Jules Verne,&nbsp; Emile Zola, Raymond Roussel, Franz Kafka, H.G Wells,&#8230;), architects, musicians throughout the 20th century&#8230; In 1902, Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s made \u00abLe voyage dans la lune\u00bb adapted from \u00abDe la terre \u00e0 la Lune\u00bb by Jules Verne. Some years later in 1925, Charley Bowers shot the film \u00abPour \u00e9pater les poules\u00bb, then there was \u00abMetropolis\u00bb by Fritz Lang, and, in 1936, Charlie Chaplin makes his mark with \u00abModern Times\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ligne1\"><strong>Links:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinon-vienne-loire.fr\/culture\/musee-le-carroi\/exposition-roulez-les-mecaniques\/\">Chinon Vienne et Loire.<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"ligne1\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"ligne1\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Group exhibition.
