It is like a psuedo-science expo; Stuffs that looks like complicated machines are created using trash such as coke can, wires, pipes, turbine blades etc. It will have wires/tubes jumping around, connecting things unnecessarily.

//looks pretty// Windows? Well, de gustibus,
coloribus, et systemis operandorum, non est
disputandum. |

//Real art is not a con// |
