I was watching a program on this guy last night.

The fish in the blenders idea is very unique.

An art display which invited the public to put live goldfish through a food blender did not constitute cruelty to animals, a Danish court has ruled.
The goldfish were placed on display swimming in the blenders, and visitors were told they could press the "on" button if they wanted.
At least one visitor did, killing two goldfish.
Peter Meyer, director of the Trapholt Art Museum in Kolding, 200 kilometres (125 miles) west of Copenhagen, was fined for cruelty to animals after complaints from campaign group Friends of Animals.
But a court in Denmark has now ruled that the fish were not treated cruelly, as they had not faced prolonged suffering.
The fish were killed "instantly" and "humanely", said Judge Preben Bagger

His Iceberg painting idea is unusual as well.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - An artist with 780 gallons of red paint, three fire hoses and a 20-member crew at his disposal went to Greenland in search of a blank canvas large enough to accommodate his creative impulse.
The result is a blood-red iceberg now sitting off the country�s western coast. |

The program I was watching last night consisted of him using liposuction to remove fat from his body, make it into meatballs and eat it on the first skyscraper ever built in Copenhagen.
Strange but engaging. |

I had actually heard years ago that this was done first by francis bacon.
Except his version was an istallation of one frog in a blender and that's it. No signs nothing. Eventually someone hit the switch and verified his hypothesis. However after googling -- nothing turns up. Guess the idea was in the public domain... |
