Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising. SO EXCITED. I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them.This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal bits), but I was just trying to bring in a few western/Victorian elements to traditional Indian clothing- legomuttoned sleeves, the double breasted, collared choli, and adapting the churidar into buttoned spats.…Also a sweet hat.-C

Leave it to Ree (Leave it to Reever? No?) to reblog something awesome. And oh god a South and Western Asian take on steampunk would make my year, Let alone something from other countries. For real, I only watch the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Movie for Captain Nemo and his badass ship. (plus his master sword combo) [OH GOD African Tribal Steampunk. Must draw!]

Luzinterruptus 

Drinking Water Running Through the Streets (2012)

200+ empty glass bottles of Infatrini, a formula for underweight babies, collected over 4 months. The bottles were lighted blue to imitate running water.

“Luzinterruptus, an anonymous Spanish art group, turned four defunct public water fountains in Madrid into glowing versions of their former, working selves. The goal was to criticize the decrepit state of the city’s fountains, half of which, Luzinterruptus says, no longer work.”

Artists’ statement:

“We wanted to say that water is necessary for life and that the fountains that are used for drinking and refreshing ourselves seem much more necessary and beautiful to us than those which are merely ornamental.”

Mika Aoki’s Impressive Glass Sculptures 

Japanese artist Mika Aoki creates exquisite glass sculptures inspired by her fascination with the visible and invisible qualities of the medium. What at first appears to be high-speed macro photographs of water droplets, turn out to be physical stationary sculptures carefully crafted from glass.

Aoki often derives her inspiration from the forms found in microscopic life such as spores, fungi, viruses or even sperm. With a masterful command of light and glass, Aoki depicts these propagating life forms in a haunting yet beautiful fashion, which she calls “singing glass.”
