The world's largest drawing?
This drawing created a big buzz on the internet recently. Apparently, an 'artist' called Antti Laitinent shipped a briefcase with a GPS tracker around the world with DHL with precise touting instructions and this drawing was the result.
Unfortunately, that was not quite true - well the story was, but not the drawing.
Antti Laitinent (an advertising student) did send this GPS tracking equipped briefcase around with DHL . . . as a publicity campaign for DHL.
The resulting image, a self portrait, turned out like this.
Still, it was a great idea which worked: it did generate a lot of noise about DHL and it must be the world's biggest self portrait.
