Photos from Swiss artist and comedian Ursus Wehrli‘s forthcoming book, The Art of Clean Up, due out next month, where he takes common objects and situations, then organizes them.
Wehrli is best known for his Tidying Up Art books, where he takes famous artworks by the likes of Chagall, Seraut, or Paul Klee, and “tidies” up the images by carefully organizing them into component pieces, or by creating clever infographic-like variations. The work landed him a pretty hilarious TED talk in 2006.

Digital art extravaganzas by Seattle-based web artist and 3D modeler Alan Van Ryzin.
Go to his site (warning: major productivity vacuum ahead if you like this kind of thing) and click the pix for mind-blowingly detailed galleries of vehicles, weapons and statics.
Take a swarm of Roombas (robot vacuum cleaners), attach different coloured LEDs, set them off on pre-programmed cleaning missions in a room, photograph the whole thing using long exposure.
Presto! Roomba light art.
There’s an entire Flickr photo group dedicated to this kind of thing.
