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?

Industrial DesignMy sister used to be an ID student at the University of Alberta. Oh, the good old days when ID meant other things.
She had a crush on this fairly successful ID grad student. He won an award for designing sunglasses that fasten to your face without arms. The secret: a magnetic implant in your nose between your eyes.
You don't have to know much about the human body to know why this would be incredibly unhealthy. And let me repeat: he won an award, as well as a good deal of grant money, for something that will never be manufactured or commercially sold.
