A rebellion of politeness
The Difference Engineers: Reinventing Steampunk opened yesterday evening with a masquerade. Le tout anachronique of Toronto were in attendance.
In this alternate version of historical Toronto, steam-powered airships have made "sky-seeing" trips a leisure pastime for the wealthy, while smaller airships make dangerous voyages to the farthest reaches of Canada's North.
The Difference Engineers: The Origins and Development of the Steampunk Counterculture Movement is hosted at the Level 6, !dea Gallery of the Ontario Science Centre.
Truth in advertising: I was interviewed for the show alongside a number of other, greater authorities on the subject. I will link to the interviews if the video installation pops up online. Otherwise, you will have to make your way to the Science Centre!
