Massive Stats Visualized

Here is some amazing new work from Seattle artist Chris Jordan. Jordan creates massive collages of items that help to visualize the massive numbers from statistics like ” 32,000 Barbies, equal to the number of elective breast augmentation surgeries performed monthly in the US in 2006.” and “213,000 Vicodin pills, equal to the number of emergency room visits yearly in the US related to misuse or abuse of prescription pain killers”

We had one of his cell phone dump prints at our UN World Environment Day art show in SF in 2003.
