One productive way to think about the question what art is, is to consider the concept of "Family resemblance" [1].
The fun thing with art is that people started making anti-art [2], which is now, of course, also considered art. Possibly the only thing not being art is mediocre art. I am perfectly willing to devote some time to making that into proper art as well.
Give a contrarian artist a definition of art, and they will destroy it.
