This work was part of a much larger painting titled The Advent of the Mechanical Man. It was cut down by the artist at some point. Another section still exists, carrying the original title of The Advent of the Mechanical Man. It is unclear why the artist changed the date on this portion of the work. The work is an example of Burliuk's Radio-style, described in the Radio-style manifestos published in 1926 and 1927. https://georgefiskcomfortsociety.wordpress.com/2020/11/29/radio-epoch-and-radio-style-is-our-present/
