Arty-Farty Shit

Stumble ThisThe "Cloaca" exhibit at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in NYC 2002 used the guise of intellectual thought to get people to spend time looking at crap.
Cloaca is a giant machine that makes shit. At one end of the machine, they pour 2.6 gallons of water and a meal from a fancy SoHo restaurant. 27 hours and 33 feet later, a nozzle squirts out a well-formed piece of crap.
Cloaca is a computerized mechanical system designed to mimic the human digestive process. The machine, which eats better than the majority of us, chews the food using a meat grinder and a garbage disposal, then passes it through six reactor chambers that use various chemicals to do the job of a digestive system.
At 2:30 PM every day a crowd gathered and the machine dutifully dropped a shit onto a conveyor belt. The crowd went wild.
You could have bought your own vacuum-packed and sealed work of Cloaca "art" but they had a run on it and have sold out. www.cloaca.be

Maybe you are getting confused between art and wall decoration.
(now, conceptual music... that really is shit.)
