Contemporary technology and Victorian styling join forces in spectacular fashion during this exhibition.
If today’s technology had been introduced in the 19th century, what would the world look like? The Antipodean Steampunk Show attempts to answer this question in a fascinating mash-up of past, future and fantasy.
The artists come from a range of backgrounds and include engineer-sculptors, artist-scientists, shoemakers, jeweller-taxidermists, writers, performers, photographers, film-makers, designers and tinkerers.
