Thats why there isn't an objective reality, its only what we have agreed is true.
Pick up Robert Anton Wilson's book "Reality Is What You Can Get Away With"
And my opinion is that Andy Warhauls soup cans are art strictly because he decided to 'present' them for whatever reason. Just like a still life of a banana is art. (but the can and the banana themselves aren't). I guess put simply I believe that if there is an artist, there is art. In the case of the script, DonnChadh is the artist. But there could be thousands of random images created daily by that script everyday without him even knowing about it. He makes no decision to create. So who is the artist? The script? No matter what you think about what art is, PHP scripts are not creative. They don't come up with anything new or innovative and they are not artists.
So I guess what this all comes down to is: Does Art need an Artist?
