The Futurist Manifesto, which outlines the 11 points of futurism, presents itself as an annoyed response to many aspects of the art world at the time. Amongst these complaints they address their issues with museums, academies, and institutes such as that---places that focus on remembering the past and following the rules (yaaaawn). I can relate with this, as i feel places such as these can be discouraging and limiting for certain sorts of artistic expression (public art, performance, some other next level experimental shit??), but then futurism kind of loses me in its macho ramblings. The glorification of war, violence, anti-feminist ideas, and patriotism seems just a tad bit immature and uninteresting to me. Maybe at the time glorifying those things was "revolutionary," but in the present, that just seems backwards. However, i do enjoy some of the visual aspects of pieces from that movement, just not the underlying themes.

New Media Art, as a concept, is also somewhat reactionary, since New Media artists reject the use of old mediums and opts to utilize "new" mediums when trying to efficiently convey their ideas.
But, the advent of New Media wasn't as much of an angry response to what already exists, as it was just a logical progression of how art should develop. I wouldn't even really view it as a "movement"( i mean it is basically just concept art with a fancy new name), as it is more of a "genre" or something of that sort with multiple smaller micro-movements inside of it. New Media is too fluid to effectively be summed up by a one page manifesto, and that's why it is important. It will always be changing, developing, and progressive. It doesn't include any limiting underlying themes, as it is all based in experimentation and forward thinking.

hey, but.... this is important:
