Click to enlarge Stand Up Comedy's 168 Bits, a grid of 11-by-17 posters appropriating texts already appropriated by Ed Ruscha. It's installed at Howard House (view here), where each poster is on sale for $20, and they're removed from the installation as they sell. (I for one would indeed rather watch synchronized swimming.)

Also in the show are the artists Mitchell Akiyama, Thomas Bangsted, Erik Frydenborg, David Hartt, and Michael Byron, with images like this one (Bangsted's 2003 Mockin'birg Hill).

I clicked to enlarge, and it got smaller instead. This happens to me in real life all the time, too.
