4 stages of making art gif …
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century
industrial steam-powered machinery.Although its literary origins are sometimes associated with the cyberpunk genre, steampunk works are
often set in an alternative history of the 19th century’s British Victorian era or American “Wild West”, in a future during which steam
power has maintained mainstream usage, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. However, steampunk and Neo-Victorian are
different in that the Neo-Victorian movement does not extrapolate on technology and embraces the positive aspects of the Victorian era’s
culture and philosophy.
Steampunk most recognizably features anachronistic technologies or retrofuturistic inventions as people in the 19th century might have
envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era’s perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Such technology may
include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or of the modern authors. Other examples of
steampunk contain alternative-history-style presentations of such technology as steam cannons, lighter-than-air airships, analogue
computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine.
Steampunk may also incorporate additional elements from the genres of fantasy, horror, historical fiction, alternate history, or other
branches of speculative fiction, making it often a hybrid genre.[citation needed] The first known appearance of the term steampunk was in
1987, though it now retroactively refers to many works of fiction created as far back as the 1950s or 1960s.
Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures that have developed from the aesthetics of
steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, art nouveau design, and films from the mid-20th century. Various modern utilitarian objects have
been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style, and a number of visual and musical artists have
been described as steampunk.
Superficially, steampunk may resemble retrofuturism. Indeed, both sensibilities recall “the older but still modern eras in which
technological change seemed to anticipate a better world, one remembered as relatively innocent of industrial decline.”
One of steampunk’s most significant contributions is the way in which it mixes digital media with traditional handmade art forms. As
scholars Rachel Bowser and Brian Croxall put it, “the tinkering and tinker-able technologies within steampunk invite us to roll up our
sleeves and get to work re-shaping our contemporary world.” In this respect, steampunk bears more in common with DIY craft and making. Aspects of steampunk design emphasise a balance between form and function. In this it is like the Arts and Crafts Movement. But John
Ruskin, William Morris, and the other reformers in the late nineteenth century rejected machines and industrial production. On the other
hand, steampunk enthusiasts present a “non-luddite critique of technology”.
Various modern utilitarian objects have been modified by enthusiasts into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical “steampunk” style.Examples include
computer keyboards and electric guitars. The goal of such redesigns is to employ appropriate materials (such as polished brass, iron,
wood, and leather) with design elements and craftsmanship consistent with the Victorian era, rejecting the aesthetic of industrial design. Steampunk fashion has no set guidelines but tends to synthesize modern styles with influences from the Victorian era. Such influences may
include bustles, corsets, gowns, and petticoats; suits with waistcoats, coats, top hats and bowler hats (themselves originating in 1850
England), tailcoats and spats; or military-inspired garments. Steampunk-influenced outfits are usually accented with several technological
and “period” accessories: timepieces, parasols, flying/driving goggles, and ray guns. Modern accessories like cell phones or music players
can be found in steampunk outfits, after being modified to give them the appearance of Victorian-era objects. Post-apocalyptic elements,
such as gas masks, ragged clothing, and tribal motifs, can also be included. Aspects of steampunk fashion have been anticipated by
mainstream high fashion, the Lolita and aristocrat styles, neo-Victorianism, and the romantic goth subculture.
In 2005, Kate Lambert, known as “Kato”, founded the first steampunk clothing company, “Steampunk Couture”,[60] mixing Victorian and post-
apocalyptic influences. In 2013, IBM predicted, based on an analysis of more than a half million public posts on message boards, blogs,
social media sites, and news sources, “that ‘steampunk,’ a subgenre inspired by the clothing, technology and social mores of Victorian
society, will be a major trend to bubble up and take hold of the retail industry”.
Post-apocalyptic Mary Shelley’s The Last Man, set near the end of the 21st century after a plague had brought down civilization, was probably the ancestor
of post-apocalyptic steampunk literature. Post-apocalyptic steampunk is set in a world where some cataclysm has precipitated the fall of
civilization and steam power is once again ascendant, such as in Hayao Miyazaki’s post-apocalyptic anime Future Boy Conan (1978),[78]
where a war fought with superweapons has devastated the planet. Robert Brown’s novel, The Wrath of Fate (as well as much of Abney Park’s
music) is set in A Victorianesque world where an apocalypse was set into motion by a time-traveling mishap. Cherie Priest’s Boneshaker
series is set in a world where a zombie apocalypse happened during the Civil War era. The Peshawar Lancers by S.M. Stirling is set in a
post-apocalyptic future in which a meteor shower in 1878 caused the collapse of Industrialized civilization. The movie 9 (which might be
better classified as “stitchpunk” but was largely influenced by steampunk)[82] is also set in a post-apocalyptic world after a self-aware
war machine ran amok. Steampunk Magazine even published a book called A Steampunk’s Guide to the Apocalypse, about how steampunks could
survive should such a thing actually happen.
Video games A variety of styles of video games have used steampunk settings.
The Chaos Engine (1993) is a run and gun video game inspired by the Gibson/Sterling novel The Difference Engine (1990), set in a Victorian
steampunk age. Developed by the Bitmap Brothers, it was first released on the Amiga in 1993; a sequel was released in 1996.[110]
The graphic adventure puzzle video games Myst (1993), Riven (1997), and Myst III: Exile (2001) (all produced by Cyan Worlds) take place in
an alternate steampunk universe, where elaborate infrastructures have been built to run on steam power.
The SteamWorld series of games has the player controlling steam-powered robots.
Both Thief: The Dark Project and its sequel, Thief II are set in a steampunk metropolis.
Guns of Icarus Online (2012) is multiplayer game with steampunk thematic. Etc
Some have proposed a steampunk philosophy that incorporates punk-inspired anti-establishment sentiments typically bolstered by optimism
about human potential.
Steampunk became a common descriptor for homemade objects sold on the craft network Etsy between 2009 and 2011,[citation needed] though
many of the objects and fashions bear little resemblance to earlier established descriptions of steampunk. Thus the craft network may not
strike observers as “sufficiently steampunk” to warrant its use of the term.
