Conceptual imagery

When stock photography was a good way for a photographer to earn a living, I used to create conceptual images since they sold very well. I used a lot of composites involving mannequin heads because they represented mankind. Without hair, they are neither race nor gender specific. The image you see here was done with the concept 'artificial intelligence' in mind. I put this together about 20 years ago, and it consists of two photos: the mannequin head and the circuit board (that I borrowed from a computer repair shop). I made the red perspective grid by creating individual lines with the rectangular marquee tool and then filling each narrowed selection with red (Edit > fill). The abstract background is the result of an unusual experiment. In complete darkness,I took a piece of 4 x 5 inch color film and passed electricity through it. The film was then developed in normal chemistry and the result was a very interesting -- and sort of nebula-like -- abstraction.
