if thinking that it's art makes it so, can i nominate that cloud as art?
is it only art if i modify it in some way? what if i film that cloud and then project it as a hologram?
is it only art if one of the guardians of art have validated it by their approval and recognition.
is the concept of art meaningless?
is it all an ego racket: ie is there no difference between climbing the greasy pole of art as opposed to climbing the greasy pole of money?
arent art and money interchangeable?
dont the wealthy patron-ize art
and arty patron-ize money
all you need is the media to create the unholy trinity!

Yes, the current trend of art is art 'to make you think.' That cloud you are looking at can be art, as long as you can somehow get it into a gallery and make up some bogus meaning for it. I think that true art, art with real emotions and/or beauty, is dying a slow death. When art becomes something purely to interpret, then it can be anything, reguardless of what it is, if it took time or talent. Modern art disgusts me.

The original Greek definition of "art" was skill, which obviously holds true, but which also as obviously is not enough in a society as materialistic and as cynical as ours.
Just because something is accepted as being art, that does not convey any value to it; art can be commercial, or shallow, or evil, or ugly, or noble – anything that a human being can be, art can be.
So I have made my personal definition of art this:
Art is celebration. Good art is the celebration of a good mind, and great art is the celebration of a great mind.
Everything we create is revealing one thing only: what it is that turns us on. Knowing this, we can tell the charlatans and the fakes from sincere artists.

many times, the two are artfully deceptive. artwork could be poetic in its skill to motivate, whilst poetry could be artwork from the photos it creates interior the techniques's eye (no longer the hidden one). This replaced into my answer on your thought link. attitude is each thing. alongside with your hand on its floor, the Pyramid of Khufu is in straightforward terms a crooked wall. Edit: Your description of the handiwork of the hidden eye explains the present concern of our government no be counted which occasion is in skill.

Art is merely unconscious plagarism.
