National Portrait Gallery | Pandora’s wine box by Tom Denbigh | A poem about the industrial revolution @nationalportraitgallery | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 27 minutes ago.
See poet Tom Denbigh performing his new piece 'Pandora's wine box', which is inspired by the National Portrait Gallery's hang in Room 16: Technological Transformations.
In writing this poem, Tom looked at the industrial revolution and this creative age as if it were a party - with the guests being the innovators on our Gallery walls, including computer pioneers Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage.
As well as being a poet and playwright, Tom is also a climate change scientist, and his poem explores the unintended consequences of the industrial revolution and the inevitable carbon hangover of that time.
