I just tried this on a wooden model of the old hanseatic city of Lubeck.

I imagine an automated computer process which roams the internet collecting our photos and analyzing them to create a 4d model of anywhere we’ve been, and can physically reproduce it. Roll in the tangent of self replicating 3d printers. 3d printing in biotechnology. It snowballs. I know, it’s a little out there.
