Extreme tidying up. Swiss artist/comedian Ursus Wehrli (auf Deutsch) sorts his alphabet soup, makes living histograms out of his fruit salad, and in his TED talk poured Pollock's paint back into the can.

That's right Pollock, you get back in that can. You get back in the can where you belong.

Also I get weird pangs of pleasure looking at the ordered images.

But in the fruit salad one..... He's used a different bowl in the tidy photo. Maybe the polka dots were just too much for him.

He removed and sorted the polka dots, along with the contents of the bowl.

There are two types of people in the world, those who see this and say 'huh' and those who see this and say 'awesome!'
