18 artists, designers, fashion designers, copyrighters, and art directors from Portland, Oregon Territory installed some amazing giant type using 14.2 miles of string outlining 25 letters on 2,500 eyelets strung by hand. The press release reads "Can 18 disparate Portland artists, writers, designers, art directors, fashion designers and illustrators get together and work as a singular unit to make art? Probably not. But Jelly Helm, Aaron Rayburn, Jeremy Pelley, Matthew Foster, Fritz Mesenbrink, Chris Hutchinson, Damion Triplett, Jennie Hayes, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Marco Kaye, Mike Giepert, Justin Scrappers Morrison, Driscoll Reid, Jason Sturgill, David Neevel, Taylor Twist, Jimm Lasser, and Julia Oh got together and tried anyway."
