I believe from the excerpt of poems read in class from Loy’s book The Lost Lunar Baedeker‚ she conceptualizes art in her poems through futuristic themes of speed‚ violence‚ rejection of the past‚ and urban scenes.

Well known for its anti-art movement which rejects any social‚ political‚ and cultural values of capitalists societies‚ Dadaism’s disapproval of violence‚ war‚ and nationalism contrasts greatly with Futurism support of those same ideologies.

An Itch You Can’t Scratch Futurism is a movement in the 20th century that valued technology’s beauty. In their works of art the Futurists tried to capture the experience of a modern world transformed by steam engines‚ electricity‚ automobiles‚ and airplanes.
