STEAMPUNK will meet steam engines during the Illuminating York Festival later this month.
DIG - An Archaeological Adventure are planning a Steampunk inspired salute to Victorian engineering, in which ‘inventors’ will help visitors explore some of the key Victorian innovations that still impact on modern life today, including cars, cameras and trains.
They will be helped out with unique projections utilising animation and newsreel footage, creating a ‘steampunk’ feel.
Steampunk is influenced by works of Victorian Science Fiction, notable examples being H.G Wells and Mary Shelley, where advanced technology is usually powered by steam engines.
The event will run throughout Illuminating York 2014 from October 29 to November 1, from 6pm to 9pm in the DIG garden, St Saviourgate. Entry will cost £2 adults and £1 child/conc.
