@all you people saying there's no island down where that big loop is: HELLO!! this is DHL we're talking about. driving/flying a boat/plane to the middle of nowhere seems like something they'd do.

Btw I think they misunderstood which loop he was talking about and gave the location of the bow-tie thing above it, just a simple mistake anyone could make.]]>May 25th 2008 5:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/worlds-biggest-drawing-created-with-the-help-of-gps-and-dhl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/worlds-biggest-drawing-created-with-the-help-of-gps-and-dhl/May 25th 2008 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/worlds-biggest-drawing-created-with-the-help-of-gps-and-dhl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/25/worlds-biggest-drawing-created-with-the-help-of-gps-and-dhl/
I'm talking about the loop in the SOUTHERN Atlantic Ocean. The Azores are to the north. Off the east coast of South America.

Then I read it was a self-portrait.

The man makes the very first "global artwork," an opportunity to make some kind of grandiose, all-encompassing statement, and it's just a damn portrait of himself.

Fake and meaningless. I'm sure he had couriers obeying his every request in deepest Africa (and I've been there around DR Congo, there ain't straight roads and there) and couriers drawing fingernails in East Timor and North of PNG, out at sea amongst the pirates. Not. Bollocks.

There does not appear to be any connection between his hosting service and that used by DHL, or dhl.se

I suppose that this doesn't rule out viral marketing, but it probably makes it a little less likely - I don't see why they would have chosen him, or started there, given that DHL is a German company and presumably have their head of operations/marketing there. ]]>May 25th 2008 11:33AM
