Photographer Chris Jordan explores the phenomenon of American consumerism by making large-format, long-zoom artwork from the most mindblowing data. Cans Seurat depicts 106,000 aluminum cans in the form of George Seurat’s A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte; 106,000 being the number of cans used in the US every thirty seconds. Mindblowing indeed.

Wow!
Yes! I saw this work in person last year. My mind was blown out of my skull.
No way! Amazing artwork & nauseating statistic about the can consumption. Gross! Very thought provoking.
I’ve seen other projects by this artist, but never this series. Incredible, yet depressing.
Omg. that is amazing!
Omg. that is amazing!
Don’t know how I missed this before. Amazing.
I wonder how long it took him to create this. Amazing! Super disturbing but still amazing.
