The artist really puts our ridiculous amount of waste into perspective.

A startling perspective shift on relevant issues to all American consumers... From the page: "looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics."

Wow, now this has got to be one of the most interesting and effective examples of modern art I've seen in a while. It's both artistically valid, and politically relevant.

An unusual and thought-provoking use of art to bring some of the 'numbers' in our society to life. 'Running the Numbers' looks at contemporary American culture through the graphic depiction of bare statistics and each image portrays a specific quantity of something. I liked (and found disturbing)'Constitution 2008' which uses 83,000 horrific Abu Ghraib torture photographs to build an image, equal to the number of people who have been arrested and held at US-run 'detention facilities' without any trial or other due process of law, during the so-called 'war on terror'.

From the page: "Depicts one million plastic cups, the number used on airline flights in the US every six hours."
