A computer workstation built from Victorian-era bathroom fixtures spells
retro-futuristic relief at a new exhibit of geek-friendly “antiques.” The
Steampunk Time Machine Antique Master Bathroom Computer Workstation, designed
by Bruce Rosenbaum and Walter Parker, melds a modern computer with antique
plumbing components, including a ribcage shower, toilet and pipes.
The piece joins a raft of similar objects from the Jules-Verne-meets-Bill-
Gates school of contraption art in Steampunk: Form and Function: An Exhibition
of Innovation, Invention and Gadgetry, an exhibit hosted by the Charles River
Museum of Industry and Innovation in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Steampunk with an exceptional dose of good-humor.
