I believe that Steampunk is more than just brass and watchparts. It's finding a way to combine the past and the future in an aesthetic pleasing yet still punkish way. It's living a life that looks old-fashioned, yet speaks to the future. It's taking the detritus of our modern technological society and remaking it into useful things. Join me as I search for items for my house that combine the scientific romanticism of the Victorians with our real present and imagined future.

Edna W Lawrence Nature Lab at RISD
I think you'll like this video of the Edna W. Lawrence Nature Lab at the Rhode Island School of Design.
It looks cool, but it kept on stopping and starting. Probably my computer.

ReplyDeleteI wish my college had such a lab in it... I'd spend hours drawing these specimens!
