Chris Jordan: Constitution v Detention
Chris Jordan, who spoke at Pop!Tech in 2007, is a photographic artist from Seattle who has recently been concentrating on rendering statistics through imagery.
In his own words his latest work, Constitution, Jordan “depicts 83,000 Abu Ghraib prisoner photographs, equal to the number of people who have been arrested and held at US-run detention facilities with no trial or other due process of law during America’s war on terror.”
