I can't consider this art. It's in the same vein as those "uber-chic" musicians that pluck one note and let it ring, and say that "it captures the beauty-- nay, the very essence-- of life and blah blah blah". There is no definition for art, but it should convey a particular thought or emotion.

Consider art as a language. If I were to open my mouth and go "gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", you wouldn't say that I had just spoken English (or any language, to my knowledge). However, I state that this gutteral sound is representative of the collective sorrow of existence in this cold, cruel universe. Fine. But you still don't consider it a coherent communication.
