Biggest drawing in the world created with GPS (HOAX)

Artist [Erik Nordenankar] has created the Biggest Drawing In The World. He used the movement of a GPS device to create a giant single line self portrait on the globe. His Pelican case containing four large batteries and the GPS data logger was handed off DHL with very specific travel instructions for its 55 day journey.

It appears the whole thing was a hoax. I thought everything on the internets was the truth. Boy am I disenchanted.

the curly hair-coordinates made me suspicious. It's one thing sending things to GPS coordinates. Flying radical loops when you're supposed to be delivering packets a.s.a.p. is another.

But, the dude is still an artist, I think, since we could see him draw that portrait on a map.
