Sitting on the introductory presentations of design studio projects for summer semester 2012 at Uni Stuttgart, one professor, talking about her studio Architecture without Architecture, showed us a photo manipulation of a spark plug set onto the top of a mountain while saying "...we will explore the influences of architectural works in other fields of design and/or technology..."
Then I figured that I want to do similar stuff to photos and images found on the internet, mainly because of two reasons - the first being inspired by the professor's image, second is the ever-missing practice of photoshopping skills.
