Earth Sandwich

By Jonathan Shih 




In January 2020, Etienne Naude from New Zealand and Angel Sierra from Spain created an “Earth sandwich” by placing slices of bread at exact antipodal points on the globe.

Using online tools to determine precise coordinates, they synchronized their efforts despite a 12-hour time difference. Naude even laser-engraved designs onto his bread slice to commemorate the event. This whimsical project, inspired by a 2006 initiative by Ze Frank, highlights global connectivity and the collaborative spirit of internet communities.
