CrashCount Factory 4621295 Shirt - Atlantic
The first CrashCount Factory shirt turns collision 4621295 into a wearable civic artifact.
CrashCount Factory is a Michael James Freedman / Why Not Art project turning public crash records into limited physical editions. This first shirt is based on a real crash record from Atlantic Avenue at Clinton Street in Brooklyn.
The back print is a three-ink composition drawn from the collision record. The front carries a one-color CrashCount mark. Printed locally by Works in Progress NYC on a Bella+Canvas 3001 tee in Atlantic.
Part of the solution: CrashCount Factory is part of a broader effort to make traffic violence visible, memorable, and harder to ignore. Twenty percent of proceeds from this edition will be contributed to Families for Safe Streets, an organization of people directly affected by traffic violence working to end traffic deaths and serious injuries.
