So, if I randomly find an empty beer can two meters from a trash can, and think about the lazy person who probably threw it there, is it art? If he did it for the sake of art and I had a though about it, is it art if I am not aware of it?

Art is just dumb, give me back my paintings and sculptures.

Yes to both questions.

Edit: I think the problem is that many think that art must have intrinsic value. Well I disagree. Art can be trashy but still art.
