Toby Ng - The World of 100
Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.
These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying.
The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?
“Look, this is the World we are living in.”

A generous family on Monument Avenue has decided to host a block party for the young artists of Art 180 and all supporters of the “What Do You Stand For?” campaign on Monday, April 30th. Although the WDYSF murals had to be removed from the median for a “permit issuance error”, they have since found homes in the front yards of some supportive Monument Ave. residents. This event will offer another chance to show support for Art 180 and the artists much in the same way the Artwalk did a couple of weeks ago. Kudos to those supporting the artists and positive expression of the youth. You can check the FB event for the block party here.
Last night there was an artwalk on the Monument Avenue median to support the Art180 “What Do You Stand For?” project that is currently on display there. We covered the initial unveiling of the murals this Fall at the October First Friday events and they have been making their way to various outdoor “galleries” across the city since then. There has been a lot of controversy over the City mandate for them to remove the 8-ft tall student murals and you can see a timeline of the events here on Fan of the Fan which was the first to cover the most recent events around the legal public display of the murals.
Six entries in the Art 180 ”What Do You Stand For?” Public Art Project. The Summer project included 25 rising 6th graders, paint. and 8ft. tall boards. Each student did a “self portrait” of what they stood for. Three of these are by Art 180 students and three are from the Program leaders. All of the pieces will be on a roaming tour of RVA over the next 9 months.
Awesome.

One good X deserves another! The first one I did, which was a commission, gave rise to another commission! Coming up with different poses is fun as well as adding little details to his design to makes it feel a little fresher— it’s fun put my own touches on it.
