Went to Moma yesterday, and this might have been the most ridiculous piece I've ever seen. It was an empty room with the house lights on a 5 second timer. I almost pissed myself laughing when I read the text.... "each five-second phase is denied by the next." The worst thing about this is that you know Moma spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on basically a $3 timer that can be found at home depot.

Following up on the stupid light timer, is this article about it in the New York Sun. John Cage's "4'33" is interesting as well.
Quoted: Bad Timing - August 31, 2006 - The New York Sun ...Granted, "Work No. 227" is not Mr. Creed's most inventive artwork. "No. 227" is a rip-off of John Cage's 1952 sound piece "4'33" (a four-minute, 33-second composition of silence). "227" is also a redux of Mr. Creed's "Work No. 160" (1996), in which the lights go on and off in one-second intervals; and both "227" and "160" are not nearly as interesting as "Work No. 503" (2006), a one-minute long DVD loop of a woman vomiting.
