Chris Jordan Revisited by Ami Kealoha

Seuratpic-5 Seuratpicdet-4

Last month we highlighted Chris Jordan's "Denali Denial" from his latest body of work that visualizes otherwise unfathomable statistics about contemporary American culture. If you haven't already perused his website, this is a reminder to check out it out; Jordan's arrangements transform the dizzying numbers into serene patterns. "Cans Seurat" (pictured) uses an image of 106,000 aluminum cans—the amount consumed in the U.S. every 30 seconds—to reproduce the famous painting.

The power of the portraits is in the subjects expressions—you can feel what they are thinking in...
Chris Hornbecker: 1 millimeter a day
Photographer Chris Hornbecker challenged himself with an interesting project last year. The idea was to take a brand new photo each day. Beginning at 14mm, Hornbecker zooms the lens by 1 millimeter a day and uses that focal length to shoot and post a photo before going to sleep each night. The photo above was taken at 27mm. The photo below is at 387mm....
Stacey Steers: Phantom Canyon
Stacey Steers' animated film "Phantom Canyon" was created from over four thousand handmade collages incorporating the images from Eadweard Muybridge's famous series of photographs from 1887 called "Human and Animal Locomotion." In this film, which is intended to mirror how we all find meaning in our experiences, a curious woman goes on a surrealistic journey with an alluring bat-winged man. The process used to...
