Biggest Drawing in the WorldThe magnitude of the awesome required to pull this off astounds me! While I’m sure it can’t be 100% justifiable to the environmentalists to send a briefcase all around the world just to make a drawing, I’m impressed nonetheless.
I wonder what might be done to make a bigger drawing than a global one? Off to the moon next?
The 17th of March 2008, I sent away a briefcase containing a GPS device with the express transportation company DHL. I gave them exact travel intructions, where to go and in what order. 55 days later the briefcase returned to Stockholm. The GPS automatically recorded the briefcase’s journey around the world. Due to the GPS drawing technique and the magnitude of the drawing, the self portrait had to be made in only one stroke. That giant stroke passed through 6 continents and 62 countries, thus becoming 110 644 km long.
