It isn't art. But neither is decoration, nor craft.

Things can be "artistic" or contain art within them, but it doesn't make them art.

I don't buy that something done/created for the purpose of being viewed and evoking (even strong or many) reactions is enough of a criteria.

Otherwise things from trolling to 9/11 are "performance art" (an already barely hanging-on category), the latter of which was very "successful" at meeting this minimal set of rules.

So you know art when you see it, and there is no intersection between porn and art? Your definition is the generally and legally accepted definition? Is David art? The Rape of the Sabines?

The corpus is of art, not Art.
