Pretentious bollocksPossibly the worst event I ever went to was an evening of turntablists in London. The lights went down, the first guy put a cymbal onto a turntable, dropped the needle on it and left it making screeching noises for ten minutes.
When the lights came up, half the audience had snuck out.
What's the most pretentious rubbish you've ever been to see in the name of art?

Animation nightA whole night of animated shorts, courtesy of an animation film festival.
Most of the films were ace, except the very last one,
which was about 15 minutes of the same old man being interviewed on the street just blabbering on about his philosophy on life in a horribly monotone shouty voice,
while his face was constantly being animated (mostly vectorized) in barely different styles.
I later saw parts of a movie called "Waking Life" on TV, which was essentially the same thing, but thankfully I had a remote then.
