"Crappy" Art

Just when you thought the art world couldn't get any more insular or disconnected, they go and pull a stunt like this:

Cloaca, the latest work by the Belgian conceptualist Wim Delvoye (b. 1965), has just closed out its run at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MuHKA) in Antwerp. It was a room-sized installation of six glass containers connected to each other with wires, tubes and pumps. Every day, the machine received a certain amount of food.

I'll just leave to the imagination what the machinery does with said food. What I want to know is just how he "signed and sold" the resulting... product.

Nevermind, I don't wanna know.
