Wunderkammer
VOON-der-kah-mer. German for a room of wonders.
Four and five hundred years ago, curious people filled whole rooms with everything they could find, make or measure. A shell sat beside a clock. A fossil sat beside a painting. Nobody thought you had to pick one.
The people who kept them were often polymaths: doctors who drew, engineers who collected, scholars who built. That's me. Today everyone is expected to be one thing. I never was.
This is my cabinet. Everything in it is real work.
The four rooms
The old cabinets sorted the world four ways. I still do.
Naturalia
Then: shells, fossils, dried plants, a crocodile on the ceiling.
Mine: poisonous plants, caves, biology.
Artificialia
Then: paintings, carvings, clockwork, old coins.
Mine: art, AI video, restored cameras.
Scientifica
Then: astrolabes, compasses, lenses, globes.
Mine: engineering, code, servers, machine learning.
Exotica
Then: wonders from the edge of the known map.
Mine: whatever I'm exploring right now.
Bring me something for the cabinet.
A problem that crosses three fields and belongs to none of them is exactly my kind of thing.
