The Anachronism is a popular steampunk event held at Webster Hall in NYC; the most recent iteration was last weekend. The theme was Expedition to Candyland and featured a fashion show with designs by Kristin Costa. Psyche Corporation performed a couple times at the event in a shiny shiny candy corset outfit made by K.Costa herself. Here are some pictures!

Artist Statement:

"What artists and scientists have in common is the ability to live in an open-ended state of interpretation and reinterpretation of the products of our work. The work of artists and scientists is ultimately the pursuit of truth, but members of both camps understand that truth in its very nature is contextual and changeable, dependent on point of view, and that today’s truths become tomorrow’s disproven hypotheses or forgotten objects d’art… ” Daniel J. Levitin, This is your brain on music: the science of a human obsession, p. v, vi
