There's a fascinating touring exhibition on right now. Created by the Stan's Cafe Theatre Company, it's called Of All the People in All the World, and it uses 112 tonnes of rice to represent statistics about the entire population of our planet — one grain equals one person. Trying to picture large numbers is always the most difficult part when reading statistics, so this visual rendering really allows you to understand what these numbers mean in human terms. Have a look at the Flickr set for more from the show. Via the Creative Review blog.
