seeing numbers June 19, 2008
Posted by ocmpoma in : society , trackbackArt, at its best, helps us see ourselves in ways which we would not otherwise be able to. Great art is self-awareness and fresh perspective combined and made concrete.
Via The World’s Fair, I am reminded of the work of Chris Jordan (no close relation*), whose work “Running the numbers” makes it much more simple — and much more dramatic — to visualize the magnitude of the statistics that we encounter all the time.
You can see Chris talking about his work at TED and also on a Pop!Cast.
(* the phrase “no relation” being pretty much pointless — we’re all related, after all…)
