Visualizing Mass Consumption

posted by Noah at 11:54 PM















I love the striking works of Chris Jordan which document the mass quantities of goods that make up our consumer culture. His most recent series, Running The Numbers, consists of giant stylized depictions of various quantities (pictured: "Cell Phones", which shows the number of cell phones retired every day in the US [426,000] and a detail view of the same image). His earlier series Intolerable Beauty is made up of actual landscapes of consumer items. All of his work can be seen on his site here.

Thanks Mim!
