draw a line and follow it (until it forms the circumference of the earth)...

"this year i was able to draw A LINE 7,200 (seven thousand and two hundred) METERS LONG. (the first series of lines, begun in 1959 had a maximum length of 33.63 meters.) this is the first series of lines of exceptional length of which i will leave one sample in each of the principal cities of the world. (each line, when it is completed will be vacuum-packed in a special stainless steel case that will be hermetically sealed.) the series will be completed only when the sum of the lines will be equal to the circumference of the earth".
