The roads are clear and you've got a chance to see photographer Chris
Jordan talk about his work today at Oberlin College.

Chris Jordan's photographs investigate contemporary American culture
through the austere lens of statistics. The themes of environmental
stewardship, mass consumption, waste, public health and social justice
are explored through haunting, large-scale images, which cause the
viewer to directly confront numbers through a visual medium. Each work
portrays a specific quantity of a particular item: 15 million sheets
of office paper (five minutes of paper use), 426,000 cell phones (the
number retired every day), 106,000 aluminum cans (30 second of
consumption).

Date: Wednesday, Mar. 12, 2008, 5:00 pm
The work will be on display from March 11 - June 8, 2008
