WHERE: Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Interactive Entertainment Experience (located in Patriot Place’s North Lifestyle Center, Foxboro MA, adjacent to Gillette Stadium)
WHEN: Exhibit runs through May 2011
Steampuffin (www.steampuffin.com) and 5 Wits (www.5-wits.com) have come to together to show you what kind of technology and art could have been on the Nautilus if Nemo was piloting his submarine today.
What is Steampunk?
Think of Steampunk as an alternate reality where the Victorian period happened at the same time as the computer or information age – what would have been produced in modern innovations, inventions and gadgetry. In fact, many believe that Jules Verne was really one of first Steampunk thinkers to popularize the genre.
What is in the Gallery?
The 1000-square-foot Nemo's Steampunk Art & Invention Gallery will feature primarily museum quality 3D artwork/inventions from Steampunk artists across the country. The artwork will be for sale and can also be customized for clients. The Gallery will be open from February 12, 2011 through May 30, 2011.
