I really like the idea behind this, and even though we already have a lot of projects going on, I think it would be really cool if we do something similar! Before actually reading what this project was about, I assumed it was a bunch of pictures of the same place taken be different people composed together to create one giant image. But the description below from daily coverage says otherwise. So I think we should proceed to do what I thought it was, anyway!

extracts of local distance is a project by frederic gmeiner, torsten posselt and benjamin maus, that is best described as architectural collage. the artists combine hundreds of fragments from existing architectural photography, arranging them in new ways to create unusual new designs. their intent is to create a third artistic point of view after that of the original architect and the photographer. each piece is assembled with mathematic precision, matching vanishing points to a tee in order to create the illusion of a new space. the photos are all analyzed using digital software and assembled digitally as well. the resulting artworks are both chaotic and visually sound, creating dream-like environments from existing architecture. check out the website to see close-up details on each piece and a video explaining the project further.
