This is pretty crazy, the biggest drawing in the world!

An artist called Erik Nordenankar, gave DHL specific instructions to ship his case, containing GPS equipment around the world, tracing a world sized self portrait of himself!

Debate has started as to the authenticity of this work, and in the process DHL get alot of namechecks. Could be a viral advertising hoax, could be the first GPS earth sized drawing mankind has ever known!

Either way it’s worth checking out.

Erik’s come clean saying this is a fictional work, for his graduation project!! He deserves high marks for this…

Also he states this project was already underway before The World is my Canvas went live… over to Stavros…

well maybe not yesterday…

This is awesome! Spending a huge part of my working life at a screen, I’ve not really been into computer games for years, but more recently I’ve played on Nintendo’s Wii, and after my initial reaction - “the characters look really clunky!” - I realised that the magic was in the responsiveness of the gameplay, and the way lots of people can be involved instead of two people gonking out while the rest look on…

Anyway… I watched this clip and well I guess it’s just the beginning, of the next phase. It’s pretty darn smart though! (although it will only work for one player at a time… for now at least).
