Since the industrial revolution began, in the 19th Century, the rise of the machine has led human beings to release extra carbon dioxide and accelerate climate warming as well as allowed them use up earth’s natural resources faster than they can grow back!

In the London Museum of Water and Steam, Brentford, on Sunday, October 9th, as part of Hounslow Council's “Summer of Culture”, nature is fighting back again the machine! Experience the “Industrial Revelation”; a day long eco-festival with special evening rock concert!

Inside the normally sterile, metallic, museum's shell, amongst the huge and impressive steam machines, some curious, organic, wooden sculptures have been appearing, as if trying to reclaim the territory on behalf of Mother Earth!
