If 1840s England sold electronics, they would probably be stocked with at least one of each of these electronic steampunk innovations. When it comes to steampunk art, my feelings are lukewarm at best, but I can't deny a cool mouse or PC mod when I see it.
One of the things that draws me to electronic steampunk art is the fact that most of (if not all of) these electronic steampunk innovations are fully functional. Displaying art on a mantle or an end-table is all well and good, but actually getting some use out of whatever you've purchased even better. Enlighten yourself with today's latest "modern" art craze by clicking through all of these electronic steampunk art projects. You may never look at brass the same way again.
