Saying anything is art doesn’t make it art. If I throw a couple beer cans on the ground, that’s not art just because I say it is, it’s trash. In this particular case the artist hand painted the labels, which I wasn’t aware of when I commented. So, this is art, despite the quirky presentation.
If the piece designed to make you think about it then it’s art. That’s the only requirement. It can take as little or as much effort as the artist wants. There is not effort, cost, or material requirement for art. Yeah, just throwing cans on the ground isn’t art, but if you place cans in a way to make someone consider the thoughtlessness or waste of society, that’s art.
