I dont think saying that art is undefinable makes it any more profound. I believe that there is no meaning in anything besides what meaning we give it. But we CAN give things meaning. Thats art. This means that you can define art differently than me, in fact I dont believe in any objective definitions at all.
So, if you want to call random numbers art you are perfectly free to do so. But be forwarned: then you also have to call random puddles of water art. And if you want to open those floodgates, everything is art (from rust patterns on dumpsters to empty space), which to me seems to suck the meaning right out of the art that humans DO create.
I will continue to limit art to the things created out of human conciousness (maybe a photo of a rust pattern or empty space that someone has decided to 'present' in some way).
