[...] Take a look at this image. To most people it looks like static. Upon closer examination, it’s actually 426,000 cell phones: the number dumped by people in the United States every day. Think twice before upgrading to the newest and greatest cell phone. View the complete images at Weblogg-ed [...]

I actually saw some of Chris Jordan’s work a few weeks ago. It’s so powerful in person, from both a digital arts standpoint and an “oh my gosh, we waste THAT much!?” one.

If you’re in the Baltimore-Washington area, Cans Seurat and Plastic Bottles are on display at the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center.

I was wondering why anyone would expect people to dispose of cell phones any differently than they dispose of trash? Basically, it’s just another enormous pile of trash where some will decompose and some will not.

Wow, an interesting juxtaposition of images, considering the currently running exhibit at my school’s Tibbot Art Gallery, David Chatt’s amazing collection of bead art. Read about that here, and note that in addition to his amazingly detailed creative artifacts, he has installed for this exhibit over 4,000 toy soldiers in a piece that “celebrates” the American military dead in Iraq. The whole notion of taking a moment to appreciate “the quality of many” is an enriching exercise…

Interesting Will. I like the concept. I wish he would have a representation of the 1.37 million legal (“safe and rare”) abortions performed each year in the United States alone?
