Out


Reykjavik, from above. To know your place.

'Let's not forget Icarus, the Montgolfier brothers, the Wright brothers, Santos Dumont, Concorde, Zeppelins, NASA. Isn't it strange that we've always wanted to fly? Why are we the only animals who want to leave our natural state? Why do fish, although sometimes they jump out a bit, generally stay in the water? Why do birds, although sometimes they dive in water, generally stay in the air? Why do dogs and cows stay on the ground? And why have we always wanted to jump in the air? It might mean that from the beginning we knew that we would have to get out of here. Do whatever you might with the future, but the clue is that we might have to leave before the house burns down.'
~ Philippe Starck
