As part of the experiments that are going on with creating a certain style and visual language of not just the constructs of the age, but of the world...sometimes I run into a few basic visual language ideas. I have always found the Industrial Revolution; the discovery and use of coal and steam a massive technological, and psychological change in human civilization.
The exploration of themes present in this overall project, focuses much on the overlapping of both the scientific rediscovery of a previous age and its ethical values, hopes and dreams, parallel to the Renaissance and the rise of Humanism; together with the cultural and technological impact of the Industrial Revolution.
Who controls the machine and the ethical issues of design and its use? We in the modern world have only started exploring this in this age...I would like to move this further back a century or so, and contemplate the impacts of both the Renaissance and mass Industry at the same time.
There are a total of 5 Furnace Machines I have designed, but for now, I will use this initial one in the creation of a larger set for us and the software side to play around with. The top image is a good indicator of how the Machine might look within the setting.
