High-Level Project Summary
We were inspired by space exploration and amazing discoveries NASA has done. So we decided to merge everyday objects, buildings and spaces to one photograph. We wanted to provoke curiosity for space and space exploration. As three young artists and photographers we decided to use our and nasa photographs. We developed a collection of 5 composite photographs. Composite photography is made by combining several distinct photographs.Photographs are a composite of Tina's Furlan urban hotographs (architecture, graffiti,interior, playground) and NASAs space photographs (galaxies, planets,stars). Our concept and the title of the collection is “urban space”.

Detailed Project Description
We hope to provoke curiosity about space and spread artistic creativity. Our inspiration was drawn from cosmic formations and by using them in everyday scenes we hope that the general public will see space in a creative and interesting way. We hope to inspire other people to think outside the box and creative thinking.
Creating our project we used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom Classic.
Space Agency Data
In our project and as an inspiration we used NASAs public photo gallery and flicker. We used photos on these sites as backdrops and specific objects in our composites.
Hackathon Journey
Our experience was pleasant and we had fun participating. We hope to join next year. Decision to join was based on the create your own challenge category and by creating it we were able to participate and share our inspiration in our own unique way. As artists we find space and space research fascinating and inspiring.
We would like to thank Higher Vocational College Sežana (Višja strokovna šola Sežana) for providing us with knowledge and working space for our project. We would also like to thank Inkubator d.o.o. Sežana for motivating us to participate.
