Steam Punk

Now here's an interesting exhibition - Steampunk Art @ Oxford at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University. It runs from 13th October to the 31st February 2010 and features Steam Punk and nothing else. I really like what these artists are producing. From the link (click on the coloured letters) you can find out much more about each artist's work.

Only a few of these things have wheels and hardly any have engines. I suppose that's the defining factor between Engine Punk and Steam Punk - Engine Punk can be Steam Punk but Steam Punk can't be Engine Punk (unless it has an engine and wheels). Steam Punk embraces electrical and gas power, too. It's the Victorian look that these artists explore and alternate histories fascinate us all.

I'd like to go this show, even though Oxford's the other side of Exeter from me.

Not Engine Punk but still bloody good.
