Join if you want to be part of the LARGEST PHOTO MOSAIC ON THE PLANET

It is not often that ordinary everyday people have the opportunity to become part of a work of art but if Tanya Lazic's face-of-millions photo mosaic, planned to be 10m by 10m or three storeys high, offers everyone the opportunity to upload their image and become part of history. To date, nearly 44,000 photos have been collected, which means that less than half the members of its associate facebook group, have, in fact contributed their image. In the gallery you can view photos of various sections of the mosaic. On the discussion board, related topics such as 'WHERE SHOULD IT BE PLACED? WHY THERE?', 'where i am on the pircture?', 'What does this project mean to you?' and '*LATEST NEWS*' are tackled.

What's great about this group: Stay up to date on how this project progresses.

Update (22 April 2024)
According to the Guinness Book of records, the largest photo mosaic was created in Chongqing, China on 28 September 2022, with the help of 70 volunteers. It was 25,856.32 ft² and consists of 50,000 photographs. A previous record of 21645.96 ft² was set at a convention center in Tampa, Florida, on 11 October 2012 - and the photos (over 176,750) were crowd-sourced. I cannot find the associated Facebook group, though.
