The other day I read about this artist guy shitting in a bunch of buckets and trying to sell it as fine art. My initial reaction was an eyeroll, but as I was thinking about it today, the pure genius of it struck me: Neo-Dadaism is alive and well, and going to extremes even the original Dadaists would find offensive! It's also a biting criticism of the modern art world and of capitalistic greed and idiocy, saying that people will literally buy any old shit if marketed well enough.
Fuck, man, I must know this artist's name, he is my new favorite.
