2.3.5.1.6
What roles do the arts play in people’s lives? Are these roles unique to the arts? (Can art change the way we interpret the world? Does involvement in the arts help the development of personal value systems? Can art express emotion? Does art enlarge what it is possible to think?)
2.3.5.1.7
Are the arts a kind of knowledge, or are they a means of expressing knowledge? If the latter, what knowledge might they express?
2.3.5.4.5
If art has power to change how people think, does this mean it should be controlled? Should art be politically subversive? Or should it serve the interests of the community, or the state, or the patron or funding organization?
2.3.5.2.1
What is the proper function of the arts: to capture a perception of reality, to teach or uplift the mind, to express emotion, to create beauty, to bind a community together or to praise a spiritual power? Are there functions omitted here? Do the various arts have the same functions?
2.2.4.2.1
Does emotion reside in the realm of private knowledge in the sense that it cannot be verified by others? Can people be mistaken about their own emotions? Can others lead them to recognize previously unknown emotions?

How can we, through sense perception and reason, make sense of numbers which are beyond our individual experience? How can we grasp the enormity of our impact, individually and collectively, on the world? Chris Jordan's supersized images help us to better understand as well as care about some otherwise almost unimaginable statistics.
