I was checking out Sight Unseen when I found this photograph of a Seurat reproduction... made with 106,000 ALUMINUM CANS! That's how many cans Americans use every 30 seconds- and socially conscious artist Chris Jordan wants to show us what that number looks like. His works depict the mass waste of materials (and cash) that the United States is responsible for, with a truly alternative perspective.
