an impressive set of large-scale infographical prints, illustratings contemporary American culture through the lens of statistics. the works visually examine vast & bizarre measures of society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. some of the datasets include:
- 1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, the number used in the US every hour
- 60,000 plastic bags, the number used in the US every five seconds
- 24,000 logos from the GMC Yukon Denali, equal to six weeks of sales of that model SUV in 2004
- 2.3 million folded prison uniforms, equal to the number of Americans incarcerated in 2005
- 106,000 aluminum cans, the number used in the US every thirty seconds
- 75,000 shipping containers, the number of containers processed through American ports every day.
- 125,000 one-hundred dollar bills ($12.5 million), the amount the US government spends every hour on the war in Iraq. </P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7" href="http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7" style="font-size: 11px;">www.chrisjordan.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7"><SPAN class="image_subtitle">An American Self-Portrait</SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/47D06BB1-5A3F-444E-B9CA-04CC3CE544DF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
