Biggest Drawing in the World by Erik Nordenenkar
Swedish artist Erik Nordenenkar claims to have created the “biggest drawing in the world” by sending a GPS-equipped plastic briefcase on a squiggly, looping trip around the world, tracing out a 110,664-km (68,763-mile) unbroken line with the help of DHL delivery planes and trucks.
Apparently, the drawing was done as part of an advertising campaign for DHL—which explains why a briefcase that looks like a bomb managed to crisscross the world in an accurate manner.

If you follow the link, you’ll see that Erik has stated on his web page that this is a “conceptual” project. The briefcase never went anywhere. DHL’s involvement was limited to letting him film at their facilities.
