So, You Think You Understand Art? (A Backend Developer's Guide)

Synopsis

Welcome, mortals, to a collection of essays that boldly attempts to navigate the utterly bewildering world of art and aesthetics. Prepare yourself for diverse perspectives – because clearly, one wasn't enough – that promise to 'illuminate' your engagement with creative expression. We'll delve into its 'profound significance,' because everything is profound when you write essays about it. If you've ever looked at a splat of paint and wondered, 'Is this art, or did I just spill my coffee?', this book is here to nod sagely and offer seventeen different, potentially contradictory, answers. Perfect for anyone who needs a break from the mundane realities of, say, optimizing database queries, and is ready to ponder the truly important questions, like why that banana duct-taped to a wall was such a big deal.
