A piece of art that tries to be edgy or insightful but actually is just mundane and vanilla. It probably appears hip to low level arty wannabees and so could get shortlisted into the odd competition, but under the spot-light, the reaction is just "are you kidding?"
It's also the kind of thing that would appeal to trying-to-be-hip corporates, so might look good on the wall of the Apple boardroom.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
