==World records== [[Image:UTS2012rasterbation.jpg|thumb|left|The 2012 [[University of Toronto Schools]] rasterbation]] [[File:The Gathering 2013 Scream rasterbation.jpg|thumb|Picture of the world record rasterbation at [[The Gathering (computer party)|The Gathering]] 2013]] Rasterbation is often the subject of [[world record|record-breaking attempts]] to create the largest and most impressive tiled prints. The title of the world's largest rasterbation was previously held by "the Doomtech crew".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rasterbation TG06 - Doomtech |url=https://rasterbation.doomtech.net/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=rasterbation.doomtech.net}}</ref> However, in June 2007 the graduating class of the [[University of Toronto Schools]], a [[Toronto]] high school, produced a rasterbation incorporating 1462 sheets of {{frac|8|1|2}}"×14" [[Legal paper|legal-sized paper]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sites.google.com/site/shaniqua2007/Home|title = Google Sites}}</ref> This achievement surpassed the previous record by over two hundred sheets, but then was overtaken by a group from [[Groton School]] in May 2008. The [[Groton School]] Rasterbation<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://maclellanimages.com/blog1/2008/07/01/my-prank/|title = Ian MacLellan - Boston portrait, travel, and adventure photographer and filmmaker}}</ref> used more than 1500 sheets of 11x14" paper and was 100' tall, making it the largest ever. In June 2012, another graduating class from the University of Toronto Schools produced 74 {{convert|9|×|9|ft|m|adj=on}} rasterbations in one night, each incorporating 143 sheets of {{frac|8|1|2}}×11" [[Letter (paper size)|letter-sized paper]], for a record-shattering total of 10,582 sheets. Each rasterbation included the face of one of the graduating students with a doorway cut out of his or her gaping mouth - altogether, they created a corridor of mouths throughout the school's hallways. In March 2013, a {{convert|1017|sqft|m2}} rasterbation of [[Edvard Munch]]s iconic painting [[The Scream]] was created at Norway's largest computer party [[The Gathering (computer party)|The Gathering (TG)]], as part of the art project [http://thescreamfromnature.com/ "Scream from nature"].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Skrik-blir-kunstprosjekt-pa-The-Gathering-7132277.html |title="Skrik" blir kunstprosjekt på The Gathering - Aftenposten |website=www.aftenposten.no |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131017045501/http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Skrik-blir-kunstprosjekt-pa-The-Gathering-7132277.html |archive-date=2013-10-17}}</ref> It is the largest known reprint of any Munch painting.
