Is there something about a stray cable that makes your eyebrow twitch? Driven mad by your colleagues making a mess with fiber optic lengths, each one a greater trip-hazard than the last?
Well, we’ve got the solution for you. Don’t view it as a chaotic mess. Look at it, and imagine it’s art.
Sounds crazy? Not as much as you’d think. In fact, we’ll show you five shots of absolute cable monstrosities, and then an image of a famous painting. It’s hard to tell the difference.

3. Grey Space, Dotted by Peripherals
4. Imperfect Hue
5. We Call It… White Space

… Isn’t it just beautiful?
