Chris Jordan: The Numbers Behind the Art

At the beginning of May, Kenneth Cole employee Rob B highlighted an important new artist - Chris Jordan - who creates "visually stunning" and "thought-provoking" artwork that comments on problems with American consumer culture. A few months earlier, in February, Chris Jordan was one of the guest speakers at TED, the prestigious annual event that features some of the most innovative thinkers in the world commenting on how they are changing the world. In this brief video clip posted to the TED Blog, Chris Jordan explains some of the "unimaginable statistics" that inspired his super-sized images.

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
