The biggest drawing in the world! 27 May 2008

Gizmodo reports on DHL's collaboration with artist Erik Nordenankar that produced the biggest drawing in the world:

"The concept was simple but brilliant: place a GPS device in a briefcase and mail it via DHL with precise travel instructions over the course of a 55 day period. When all was said and done, the GPS data formed a virtual self-portrait of the artist that spread over 6 continents and 62 countries covering nearly 70,000 miles."

Incredible!

Wow... Just wow, i don't know what to think.. Madness or pure brilliance.

I'm leaning towards the latter.

You may have figured this out, but it’s been announced that the drawing was faked. I don't know what it would take for DHL to loop-the-loop in the middle of the Atlantic, but art isn’t convincing them, at least not this time.

Still, it's a nice-looking drawing.
