I've recently been presented the idea that art goes beyond its creator and involves its consumer(s) too. So basically, the expression goes beyond the one expressing, and includes those appreciating that expression.

But if we accept that, there's no need for the creator to be a person - since if you yourself are a person observing the art, the idea will still hold.

While I'd find this notion agreeable, I really don't subscribe to personhood being a requirement on either side of art to begin with. But maybe it's something worthwhile for your consideration.
