Forget passive-aggressive notes and emails, when graphic designer Padraig Murphy noticed that there was still an open wall in his new office he decided to troll his workplace in the best way he knew how- with art.
The employee attached a simple art museum style paper plaque next to the exposed wall, titling to “exhibit” ‘Exposed Wiring & Controls.’ Ironically enough the company Murphy works for is a print, signage and design company, based in Galway, Ireland.
Well sometimes art inspires change and it appears that the office took note of the creative piece. Scroll down to see how the art war played out.

The company took notice and fixed the wall so he decided to upgrade his exhibit

The thread inspired people to leave their own artistic commentary on the masterpiece

...And now they've covered up 4 plug sockets, 2 Ethernet sockets, and an important looking red switch. GG, well done...

Did something similar in high school. Some guy punched a hole in the wall near one of my classrooms, so a friend and I framed it, put a small piece of hose with blue streamers coming out the end in the hole, and added a plaque with the words "c'est une pipe" underneath. Hole was fixed the next day.
The wiring isn't really exposed - it still has the covering on it. It would be bare copper if it were exposed.
Agreed. This certainly doesn't count as 'exposed wiring' However, to rectify this situation would require a qualified electrician to do quite a bit of work to install proper-depth recessed-mount boxes to bring them out to the surface of the wall. Also, seeing PLASTIC electrical boxes in a commercial setting is quite disturbing.

Hahaha. Does this guy write modern art pieces' reviews in his spare time or something? That's exactly the kind of stuff they'd say...so much that if someone actually was to place this stuff in a 'modern art exhibition' with this plaque, people would legit pay money to see it and admire the artistic depth. Isn't it an ironic age we live in?
I'm realizing that I've got art in my house, and it's called Catscratches covered with carpet tile and Catscrachtes covered up with lilac cardboard aka What's hinding under that piece of lilac cardboard?
This is a great example of the incredible transformative power that comes with choosing not to react with anger or irritation. There are all too many people who go through life being angry with just about everything that happens, never realizing that they could have lived their lives in an altogether more satisfying way had they not relied so much on anger instead of humour, logic, or just shaking little inconsequential things off and moving on. We can not stop life from happening, but we can choose how we react.
This idiot just covered up several useful outlets. Brilliant work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
