You: a craggy Irish expat, me: a sweet young thing. We met once before at a steam punk, burning man benefit party at metal shop in Red Hook, summer 2007. Third time's the charm?

Location: Bushwick
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

i wonder if this burning man metal shop is the sculpture studio that anthony bourdain and andrew zimmern go to in the bkln episode...

I heard they have steampunk nights in Philly or something.
I would probably totally hang out at a Johnny Mnemonic club night.

Absinthe-flavored Sparks?

Miss Eva G posed for me in her SOMA loft, dressed in her own fabulous steampunk finery, with an antique crossbow she brought back from China. The painting took several sittings with Miss E and then many hours of work painting in the detailed background. She is defending early implements of the computer revolution, Jacquard punch cards and IBM cards, a CDV of Ada Byron, and Charles Babbage’s Difference Engine No. 2. An apple core represents Turing, eaten up by the intolerance of his era.
Also prominently displayed are some wonderful modern creations- The Steampunk Laptop by Datamancer and the Steampunk Flatpanel and Keyboard by Jake Von Slatt- who were kind enough to allow me use their work in the painting. The packet-sniffing rat under the desk is a nod to the EFF’s most recent victory; the EFF logo appears among the luggage stickers on the trunk. I added the bullet shells at the last minute when I learned that Miss E. is a crack shot.

favorite movie age 12-16^^

i can't believe this is an actual subculture

way to take something that was an amusing flight of fancy for about 5 minutes and turn it into the most embarrassing lifestyle choice ever.

i wish i didn't have shame so i could have been into redic anime shit when i was 16 and fucked boring girls

My mom is seriously into Victorian culture and art. So I told her about the steampunks in Brooklyn. She was kind of sad that i wasn't dressing up and going to these shindigs. It was really difficult for me to explain exactly why these people are not exactly in my circle of friends.

The best I could come up with is "They're a lot like goths and there's probably absinthe" and "I lack the dedication to get dressed up before I go somewhere"

party naked right?

If I'm gonna listen to music I hate and have girls not talk to me, I'd rather do it in a Minutemen t-shirt and Chuck Taylors than in a winged collar and waistcoat that I spent $200 on at a costume shop.

sadly those collars aren't even winged, they're just popped business collars

Show them the way, Argonaut.

From this nytimes crap:

“There seems to be this sort of perfect storm of interest in steampunk right now,” Mr. von Slatt said. “If you go to Google Trends and track the number of times it is mentioned, the curve is almost algorithmic from a year and a half ago.” (At this writing, Google cites 1.9 million references.)

BLURGH LOL

caek, that pic really needs the associated caption from the photo editor who was obviously trying not to laugh:

i hate their color palette too!

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/05/07/style/23100879.JPG

look of this picture while you think of the opening of the song "Stayin' Alive"

do these guys dress like that all the time?

people have rediscovered victorian costume elements before and will do so again, but it's the fetishistic technology piece of this subculture that i don't fully get. to me it seems like some regressive reaction to a world where technology is becoming increasingly wireless, microscopic, & intangible -- yearning for a gaslit retro-fantasy aesthetic without actually forsaking any modern conveniences.

on the clothes side its gone way further than "costume elements" u must admit

work "compulsive" in there somewhere

yeah i don't make a problem with the clothes themselves but when these fucking otaku pile on garments styled for different historical eras and social classes and top it off with spraypainted cogs and aviator goggles it becomes WOAH anachronistic loser scrapbook bullshit, for sure

basically, the matrix is real and it was designed by square-enix

yea otm "my knowledge of the 19th century comes from the town that built airships in that final fantasy game"

ugh, that military parade jacket has a fucking zipper down the front. wtf, details, people.

I bought a pair of vintage Cannonball Empire headphones off Ebay and I disassembled and gutted them.

Cool looking 'old' headphones that work just fine with my MP3 player ^ _ ^

Though Steampunk’s artisanal outputs have stolen much of the mainstream limelight so far, there is a whole other creative side to the scene that has received little attention in comparison. Countless bands have formed, filing their music under the Steampunk genre or citing Victorian fantasy as a muse. One of them, Vernian Process, is the solo project of San Francisco–based Joshua Pfieffer. A true testament to the notion of the ambitious dabbler, Pfieffer has no musical training, and writes songs with the aid of basic audio-production software. “The atmosphere is actually more important to me than writing good hooks, or melodic structure,” he says of his music, which he makes free to download. “I feel that what I do represents the genre as I would like it to sound.”

SOUNDS GREAT WHERE CAN I HEAR SOME.

we need to provide new suffix options for new generations of subcultures

no more "-core" or "-punk"

more like "-warp" and "-shine" or some shit

TransWarp's 256K RAM is effectively divided into four 64K banks. When you power-up your Apple with TransWarp installed, all of the ROM from $D000 through $FFFF is copied into one of the high-speed RAM banks. The rest of this bank is not used. A second bank is used in place of the motherboard RAM. The third and fourth banks are used in place of the first and second banks of AUXMEM, if you have a RAM card such as RAMWORKS installed in the AUX slot. If you have a large RAMWORKS in the auxiliary slot of a //e, any additional banks beyond two will still be usable but at "only" 1 MHz.[1]

Steampunk’s key lessons are not about the past. They are about the instability and obsolescence of our own times. A host of objects and services that we see each day all around us are not sustainable. They will surely vanish, just as “Gone With the Wind” like Scarlett O’Hara’s evil slave-based economy. Once they’re gone, they’ll seem every bit as weird and archaic as top hats, crinolines, magic lanterns, clockwork automatons, absinthe, walking-sticks and paper-scrolled player pianos.

http://www.geekologie.com/2007/08/02/terminators-having-sex.jpg

how are walking-sticks "weird and archaic"

oh i was just wondering what steampunk's key lessons were

i thought the key lesson is "dressing like a douchebag will score you free absinthe and maybe sex with a girl in a corset."

i'm sure a lot of people wish that was the key lesson

girls in corsets acting like you don't know how to get them off = lol

I misread that sentence and didn't know which noun "them" was supposed to refer to for a minute

my friend just got back from doing some PR for a video game at a steempunk convention.

he said this one chick had a crazy top hat that had a mechanism inside that would serve you a hot cup of TEA out of a mechanized door in the hat!

Using her powers for good.

we actually have a teenager at this high school who is sorta steampunk. she wears huge tank girl style goggles on top of her head. other than that she dresses like a generic teenager.

http://bieds.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/4_non_blondes-whats_up-frame014.jpg

I'd like to start a thread about an artistic movement that shows a lot of ideals from White culture, in terms of hope and creativity.

It's called Steampunk. Steampunk is an aesthetic that takes modern technology and invades the past with it. Steam (but not always) used as the main power source. Jules Verne and HG Wells really wrote the founding material for this sort of stuff. Imagine a Victorian era with analog computers that ran on steam power. Just so people understand - in case I'm not representing it well - here's a few films that show the art form:

League of Extraordinary Gentleman Treasure Planet Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow Van Helsing City of Lost Children The Golden Compass The Final Cut

It's doesn't always have to be Victorian Era, I've seen stuff that looked like it was from the 1930's. It's ways of imagining how they could have accomplished our technology back then.

check out steampunkmagazine.com or steampunkworkshop.com

There's also a cute little online game called Dirk Valentine at nitrogame.com

All of this fiction and escapism relies on White Western culture being unlimited in its creativity and uninhibited by the constraints of time. It's a happier alternative to the dark dystopias of cyberpunk.

So if there are fans of this genre - games, movies, literature or art than please share some insights and reviews. This thread will also be a great place to post pictures of this type of artwork.

Thanks, and Enjoy!

Well, it it retrofuturistic in some ways. . .

Is there a music to go with this, or do they all just listen to industrial and video game music like I imagine

i didn't know what steempunk was when I posted Bennett but was right anyway

it's gotta be dresden dolls 94/7

xp

probably django

fortunately i just googled to find the st0rmfr0nt thread pasted above and here is the answer!

n regards to the music:
Steampunk music is predominantly of the genre Darkwave.

I need to move further into the hood. This is intolerable.

most of the steempunk parties around here take place deep in the hood.

Parts of Crown Heights are arguably "the hood", but the street in question is on the far, far yuppie fringe of the "developing" area. So, no.

yeah, no one out here has gone so far as to establish a "legit" venue for this stuff

The owner says they're working with a puppet artist to put in some moving installations and that they'll have a day photographing patrons in costumes to decorate the walls with daguerreotype portraits. Bring on the monocles!

I know. So many parts of that thread make my hands move in a desperate clawing motion toward my own face.

I would really like if they all listened exclusively to barbershop/Sweet Adelines music.

a steampunk bar opened up across the street from me last week

what's it like!!!!

What FINALLY?? Didn't I link to that in a thread like a YEAR ago, or am I confusing it w something else?

Btw maxxy, I'm going to be at your bar next Friday night; fancy a pint?

totally! by "my bar" you mean wash commons right? because i am engaged in a feud with the bar directly below me
