It's a bit Sokal Hoax, in that you have to be quite familiar with this kind of thing to be able to distinguish it from satire. But a lot of "artist's statements" are written that way. If you go into a museum and find an incomprehensible objet d'art with a small explanatory plaque next to it, the plaque will be written like this.

In a way it's no different from LinkedIn or a VC pitch, the need to hit certain phrases to appeal to the audience.
