To break a world record is to aspire to be the best, to take a talent you have or acquire and push yourself to the limits of this ability. This could be something exceptional such as the record breaking at the Olympic games or something weird or seemingly trivial such as the most socks sorted in one minute. And with this project, I had to break a record of my own. After looking into existing records and at my own abilities, I couldn’t find one which I felt I could do or one which I wanted to do, so I decided to create my own.

I created a new world record of attempting to create the longest doodle in length. I found that the record could be applied as a team record or a solo record, expanding the possibilities. I first focused in on the solo record to look into the details and problems of the record and how it could be made challenging, creating new rules and exploring what classifies a doodle.
