Full image and detail.
These images by Chris Jordan are powerful depictions of numbers- inspiration for our propaganda projects. Check out his site at http://www.chrisjordan.com/. This particular image is from his Running The Numbers series. "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 the Bush Administration's war on terror."

yeah, I have looked at some of his work in another class. Definitely interesting. Although... there's something that feels a bit "gimmicky" about it to me - perhaps I'm reacting to his commercial success with this series, I dunno. Just thinking out loud...
