Huge Self Portrait #
By now, everyone’s probably seen this. But We Made This’s theory that it was actually viral marketing is interesting enough to note:
A lot of people are saying that either the GPS signal wouldn’t transmit through the metal exterior of a plane, or that the flight plan would simply be too damned expensive, even if DHL are footing the bill. So did it actually happen, or is just a (rather finely crafted) viral? The site seems oddly free of the expected background to the genesis of the project, and Nordenankar seems to have very little web presence before doing it… though he did win a D&AD student award in an advertising category last year…
UPDATE (5/27/2008): The page has been changed to refelct that it is, indeed, a work of fiction. More at The Telegraph. (via waxy)
