If the Ferris wheel shows the way the wheels of capitalism turned ever faster as it ratcheted down violence and reinforced the desires of the market, Tatlin’s Tower could be said to be an attempt to do the reverse. Anchored to a Russian Constructivist vision of modernity in which science meets a form of violent intensity, Tatlin’s Tower could be said to combine a heavy dose of functionalism with telluric mythology. If the Babel-like exoskeleton of Tatlin’s Tower reveals the intensity of the theological, its internal vault system shows the rationality of science and what Svetlana Boym once called “enchanted technology.” It was a technology that was many miles from the telluricism of Mao.
