Chris Jordan以圖像展示令人震驚的統計數據

藝術家Chris Jordan向我們表明了他所捕捉的於西方文化是什麼的樣子。他的超大尺寸圖片將一些難以想像的統計數字形象化--例如我們每天所消耗的驚人紙杯數量。

Collective, unconscious behaviors can add up to astonishing consequences when multiplied by millions. One million plastic cups are used on US airline flights every six hours, and more than 400,000 Americans die each year from smoking cigarettes. By turning overwhelming statistics into giant, detailed images, the artist hopes to spark emotion and responsibility that numbers alone cannot inspire. The real challenge, he suggests, is to translate awareness into personal and cultural change.
