Building the World Record Mosaic - You can help too
The long process of constructing the World Record attempt mosaic for the unveiling on the 23rd August has started this week, both at Millennium Point and at workshops across the region. The Big Picture team and volunteers have 110,000 plus photos to stick to 288 panels at the rate of about fifteen a day — and we’ve got to get every one in exactly the right place.
Student Jack Prior (pictured) was helping out at Millennium Point on Monday, and it took him just under two hours to complete a panel (that’s 392 photos). Jack, who’s from Halesowen but studies in London, saw a poster for The Big Picture on a bus and volunteered to help with the mosaic build.
You can help too, and be part of breaking a World Record — either at Thinktank, at Millennium Point, almost every day, or at a workshop hear you. Check here for full details.
Jack was enjoying himself, picking out his favourite photos and was very interested to talk to the team about how the mosaic was worked out as he’s studying graphic design. Jack said: “It’s great to be a part of something that represents where I’m from, and something so big. We’re doing it collectively, but it’s also individual — I’ll be able to point to the panels that I helped put together.”
