This is the cabinet of curiosity that David and I made for the 2024 Cabinets of Curiosity installation sponsored by Random Acts of Silliness. Better videos will be available soon, but this gives you a glimpse. After discovering a fairy cobbler shop in the early 1900s, Dr. Von Bunion became obsessed with magical footwear and later developed the science of parapodology, or tracing one’s magical lineage through the footprint. When viewers step on the podomat, the viewing apparatus displays their closest magical ancestor. They can read more about their ancestor’s magical powers in the pododex filing system, and by exploring the drawers of the podarium, learn more about Dr. Von Bunion’s various theories and business enterprises. His blog is at parapodology.wordpress.com
