The other day, while I was busying myself writing articles about men who use the internet to swap citizenship for sex, a German artist was doing something infinitely more radical.

As part of an a contemporary art exhibition in London called Drift, Frank Bölter created an enormous paper boat and sailed the Thames in it.

I used to make similar boats when I was a kid. Except mine would usually sink or end up as a hat.

Did you like that? Apparently the boats were made out of Tetrapak, the same stuff they make juice boxes out of.
