The rule these days seems to be that if you argue loudly enough that it's art, it's art. It's a good thing that this isn't the case with the laws of science, or we'd all be in a lot of trouble.
That said, all of these are better than some of the actual works I've seen on display at a modern art museum, which don't even have the excuse of last-minute panic. There was one that looked like it had been thrown together using a spirograph and junk from under the couch cushions. Another was composed solely of twelve blue tiles, with the shade of blue of each being determined by how many times the "artist" had used the bus in a particular month (the most interesting part of that one was a place that had accidentally been scratched). And then there is the one that is literally nothing more than a black, football-shaped blob on white paper. Do I need more examples, or have I made my point?
