visual impact

here's an intersting exhibit called "running the numbers":http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php?id=7

the artist, chris jordan, takes photographs and puts them together torepresent things like "1.14 million brown paper supermarket bags, thenumber used in the US every hour" . so it's little factoids but in a visual form...which from the pictures on his site...definitely has abigger impact than the fact alone.

Von Lintel (www.vonlintel.com), in NYC, will exhibit the "Running theNumbers" series this year from June 14 through the end of July
