A scrapbook of images, sounds and moving pictures from the steampunk exhibition at Kew Bridge Steam Museum. I didn't expect the Tesla coil demonstration to be so Frankenstein and traumatizing. The noise! Aural shock treatment, a frequency to rattle bones and shake terror into yr marrow. The scale might be hard to gauge from the video, so let me assure you: it was at least 5ft tall.
As if all the gigantic steam-powered machinery (most of which was too big to capture in full through a lense) hadn't already reminded us how puny the human form can be next to the behemoths we create.
