Erik Nordenankar's Self Portrait, World's Biggest Drawing
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Swedish artist Erik Nordenankar claims his self portrait drawing is the world's biggest drawing. It was done using a GPS device stuffed inside a briefcase which he sent around the globe via DHL, with exact co-ordinates to draw the figure. When the package returned after 55-day journey around the world, he downloaded the GPS's route to produce the gigantic drawing which is composed of a single 110,00km long line that passes through six continents and 62 countries.
"In order to make the drawing that I wanted, I developed a GPS device with extended tracklog and battery time," Nordenankar claims. As "evidence" of his achievement he has posted the picture, his complete delivery instructions to DHL, two photos of his GPS suitcase and a photo of a wad of DHL delivery notes onto his website.
