Hey folks,
A few years ago, we managed to set the world record for the largest photography competition in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. We still hold this record with our 2012 competition http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-competition/ .
I was thinking, as a little bonus on WLM 2016, would it be nice to try and break another record? The competition will be hard to break if I look at our previous submissions, but there is another record that might be interesting: the largest digital photo exhibition http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/29046-largest-digital-photo-exhibition. The record currently stands at 115,117 and seems breakable.
Based on what I read, this might be a bunch of LED screens all displaying a slide show of photos at a publicly accessible place. We could do this during some kind of event, and simply show all WLM submissions from the international competition.
Anyway, is there anyone, or a chapter/local team that would like to consider organising something like this? If we want, we could even make it a 'travelling' exhibition. It would require a lot of screens, a nice occasion to display them, a bit of software to show the photos and collecting evidence.
Best, Lodewijk

If the rules allow this, it would be enough to have a single screen: with 14 days and 10 seconds per image, that's 120960 images. WMIT has a WLM exhibition ongoing at the national museum of science, FWIW. http://www.wikimedia.it/museo-della-scienza-milano-ospita-la-mostra-wiki-lov...

Hello all,
That would be great to try a digital photo exhibition. After this e-mail, the Wikimedian Brazilian Group of Education and Research is thinking about trying to organize something here - maybe inside the subway stations. Let´s keep in touch! Best regards, Juliana

Hi Juliana,
That would be an interesting approach! Please do check if they would be interested. Did you do something like this before (with so many different images, we'd be talking about a huge storage capacity - much more than a few banners/photos on repeat... so I'd be curious if their soft/hardware could handle it.
Nemo: I think we'd be talking about all WLM 2016 photos, so that would be more around 200-300k photos (I hope), and at the earliest in November/December.
Any other people willing to work on this follow-up project?

Dear all,
I'm very delighted to see such interesting proposal. Our usergroup (Wikimedians in Thailand) is also planning to organise a photo exhibition. We're partnering up with an art gallery/culture centre, which i think would be a perfect place to held such event. The thing is the earliest we can do this is in early 2017. For now, let's keep in touch.
Best regards, Athikhun Suwannakhan
