Art is a means of expression, whether you can see meaning in it or whether it had any meaning at all or even if you think it wasn't particularly creative. Art serves no other purpose other than to be art. In that regard, yes, this can be considered art. I thought it was quite creative in a relatively unexplored medium, your IP, instead of oil paint.

Yes, that's in a museum. And it wasn't made "these days" either.
