1514 Density

Friday, October 19, 2007

We've all heard that Hong Kong has a high population density. I didn't fully realize what that meant until I saw the photographs from Michael Wolf. Go to http://www.photomichaelwolf.com/intro/index.html, and click on "Architecture of Density" (I had to click on it twice). As you scroll through from first to last, it begins to look less and less human, and more and more machine.

This is the kind of future I dread - and also one reason why I have refused for 20 years to see 'Blade Runner'. All human scale is lost. To me, it looks like nothing but misery.

It does look barren and empty of soul. Was this guy on The Colbert Report a few weeks ago? I remember something like this on that or The Daily Show.

I don't know Chris. I was passed the link to the photos. He does do a lot of shows, and books, so it's certainly almost likely.
