Chris Jordan

I like the art of Chris Jordan because he tries to show the actual number or amount of whatever he has in his work (plastic bottles, batteries . . .) because people have a difficult time trying to fathom statistical information. To have it displayed on an image in front of you is overwhelming - which is the point the statistic originally tries to make. It emphasizes something imidiate that is currently going on that you seem powerless to change. By doing that it also inspires you to change, it forces you to see the way things are and the way they should be.
