One can enter an endless debate about what is art or not, some say everything is art, to which one can pose the alternative, that nothing is art. I suppose it comes down to ones own opinion and in mine this doesn't constitute art.
who determines what art is? how do you define art?

To me it's art, why? because I think someone took the time to create the dispaly we see, they felt strongly enough about it to share it, they also added visual pieces to add to the picture such as a face in one corner of the picture to add elements of artistic composition.

To me, it's art.
