A Steampunk Revolution
Steampunk def. : Imagining a future that never was or a past that could have been...
Imagine a world where the Industrial Revolution never ocurred. What would your everyday life be like without the electronics that we take for granted? No cell phones, TVs, computers, dishwashers, etc?! How would school and work be different? What if we were not so driven by values of profit? We will explore these themes as we imagine and create a new world inspired by the Steampunk aesthetic.
