And, consistent with his new-found role of art-critic, kkissinger is away in a world of his own, missing the single most important aspect of this piece. This is an homage to Marcel Duchamp (http://www.abcgallery.com/D/duchamp/duchamp.html).
The most obvious reference is to [i]Bicycle Wheel[/i],

but also the repeated skidding around and falling reminds us of [i]In Advance Of The Broken Arm[/i], the movement of [i]Nude Descending A Staircase (No. 2)[/i], the theremin of [i]With Hidden Noise[/i], the nudity of [i]The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even[/i] and the Speedos of [i]L.H.O.O.Q[/i] (a pun in French - pronounced "elle a chaud au cul" - "she has a hot bottom".)
We are also indirectly reminded of Duchamp's seminal [i]Fountain[/i] by the seriousness of the work. (Fountain is a urinal, inverted so as not to accept urine, or more colloquially, "not taking the p*ss".)
Duchamp also supplies the answer to Charlie D's important question: Can a found object be art, if not created as an art-object? Yes. His readymades, such as [i]Bottle Rack[/i] are precisely that - Duchamp's role in this and similar works was simply to identify an object as being of artistic merit and label it as such.
Hence the familiar cry of the modern artist: "It's art because I say so!"
