The increasing abundance of visual and intellectual design material poses new challenges to the imperative of innovation and originality. The current boundaries between genuine originals and (negatively connoted) types of copying are becoming increasingly blurred. In the light of the above, REPLICA questions common dogmatic perceptions and in this work explore methods of a creative practice of copying.
