Steampunk: A Victorian Era-Computer Age Mashup
ResumeA quirky art exhibit called Steampunk, Form & Function recently opened at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation in Waltham.
If you're wondering what steampunk is, you're not alone.
“It means a lot of different things to different people,”said Bruce Rosenbaum, a major Steampunk fan and the sponsor of the museum exhibit. “It’s come out in movies, in fashion, in literature, in gaming and in design. I like to think about Steampunk as a re-imagination — if the Victorian period or the industrial period happened at the same time as the computer or information age.”
