Megalopolis Shanghai by Horst and Daniel Zielske | Daily Icon
by karlcow
In this series of pictures, the two photographers - father and son - present Shanghai between fiction and reality as the ‘city of tomorrow’. The focal point of their photographic work is the architecture of the city’s streets, a critical investigation and analysis encompassing the subject of urban landscape. In a long-term project begun in November 2002, they have been documenting the metropolis Shanghai as an urban composition, a man-made architectural living space and enviroment of unprecedented and unimaginably gigantic dimensions. The resulting images are of immense visual beauty.

That is the beauty of this incredibly flexible system. As usual, the gaming community had been quicker to “grok” (their slang for “understand") it.
Non Frédéric, grok n'est pas un mot issu de la communauté du jeu.
