Largest and Most Complicated Self-Portrait

Erik Nordenankar is an artist from Stockholm, Sweden. One day he decided that he wanted to do a self portrait of himself. Using one continuous line to draw on a map, he figured out a path through the many cities of the world that would resemble an image of himself. He then took a briefcase with a GPS device, set up a list complicated routes that the briefcase would follow and sent it off to DHL. When the package returned he loaded all the information stored by the GPS device inside onto his computer. A very fun idea.
