Mini Worlds

 

One of my favourite things is the miniature worlds under our feet, the macro worlds. I set about exploring what these could look like with some AI help.A steampunk themed mini house among the leaves of a forest floor...

Steampunk is a subculture that originated in the 1980s and 1990s, blending elements of science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction. The term "steampunk" was coined in the late 1980s by science fiction author K.W. Jeter, who used it to describe a sub-genre of science fiction set in the Victorian era and featuring steam-powered technology.

However, the roots of steampunk can be traced back to the works of authors like H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, who wrote about fantastic machines and futuristic technologies in the 19th century. The aesthetic of steampunk draws heavily from the Victorian era, with a focus on brass, copper, and other metals, as well as gears, cogs, and other mechanical elements.

Steampunk also has a strong DIY and maker culture, with enthusiasts creating their own steampunk-inspired clothing, gadgets, and accessories. The subculture has expanded beyond literature to include fashion, art, music, and even film and television. Today, steampunk remains a popular and vibrant subculture with a dedicated following around the world.
