Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Steampunk
Maker Made Stage (Expo) , Saturday 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
| Location: Expo Green |
How can you be authentic to yourself and part of a (sub)culture? Through the lens of Steampunk, a meta-subculture that is currently at its tipping point of growth, we explore the inevitable question a subculture faces as it grows from disparate DIY roots. Who and what belongs? Can it transform permaculture? Geek comedian Heather Gold converses with computer and car modifier Jake von Slatt (http://steampunkworkshop.com/); Abney Park singer Captain Robert (http://www.abneypark.com/); and Steampunk magazine editor and wearable art creator + artist Libby Bulloff (http://www.exoskeletoncabaret.com).
