Statistics and everyday objects as art
March 2nd - 11 Responses
Artist Chris Jordan has recently unveiled his brilliant art series “Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait”, where he takes a look at American culture via consumption statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of some object, such as 15,000,000 sheets of office paper (which is actually 5 minutes of America’s paper usage) and 106,000 aluminum cans (30 seconds of canned drinks consumption). The images are striking, putting statistical data on overconsumption in an easily identifiable and visual context. Jordan’s caveat however, is that viewers attempt to see them in person, where their scale is better experienced than through JPEGs displayed on a screen.

I should say, as a lot as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt help but lose interest after a although. Its as if you had a fantastic grasp on the subject matter matter, but you forgot to include your readers. Possibly you ought to consider this from much more than a single angle. Or maybe you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its greater in case you take into consideration what others might have to express rather than just going for a gut reaction towards the subject. Consider adjusting your own thought procedure and giving others who may possibly read this the benefit with the doubt.
