BAST'ART'S TRUCS. Cardiff After Dark. Doom CMYK Daily. Learn Something Every Day. Ulric Collette. Three frames. Cockroach. Possum's Tumblr. La boite verte. Vinepeek. Flash glam trash! But does it float. Chris Jordan - Running the Numbers. Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month.
This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. ~cj, Seattle, 2008. TRIANGULATION BLOG. I like this art. Design You Trust. Today and tomorrow. AmazingFuture.
