My Steampunk Article at Wired News
Posted by: gareth

Geek I have an article, called "Steam-Driven Dreams: The Wondrously Whimsical World of Steampunk," up on Wired News. It's a brief tour of the art, tech, and media of the growing steampunk movement, as told through pictures (and my pulchritudinous prattlings).

Here's a snip:

Steampunk Magazine
Every movement needs its house organ, its broadsheet for posting manifestos. In just two issues, Steampunk Magazine: A Journal of Misapplied Technology has established itself as a worthy mouthpiece. True to form, it's available both in a treemeat version, for $3 plus postage, and a free PDF.

So, how does the magazine define steampunk? It's inaugural issue says: "Steampunk lives in the reincarnated collective past of shadows and ignored alleys. It is a historical wunderkabinet, which promises, like Dr. Caligari's, to wake the somnambulist of the present to the dream-reality of the future. We are archaeologists of the present, reanimating a hallucinatory history."

I have no idea what that means but I'm just going to shut-up and drink the Kool-Aid.

[Shown here are a pair of one-of-a-kind brass goggles, created by UK artist Atomefabrik, and Datamancer's Steampunk Laptop.]
