Industrial: Steam is a question mark on the idea of what art can and should be. With the creation of new technologies that pollute, along comes discussion of environmental concerns. The justification of such pollution is usually the advantage of being able to travel long distances in short period of time, or create massive amounts of energy to simplify our lives. In a world of practicality and "end-justifed-by-means" thinking, is art enough of a "means" to create pollution?
