artwank

Any visual or audio media which is made impenetrable on purpose, simply to gain critical acclaim from those who think that such impenetrability automatically implies hidden genius.

Such work is almost always incredibly shallow and without thought, as can be gauged from a quick analysis by an intelligent human being.
Many films that The Independent newspaper (UK)waxes lyrical over.

artwank

Art created purely for its fame-garnering effect for the creator. Overly pretentious/irrelevant art.
