To further add to the discussion of art vs not art...
My former neighbors at the His House Men's House (that's the 'Jesus Dogs' place for any of you who don't know) had a little game that they liked to play called "Will it Break?" This game consisted entirely of them going up onto the roof of their third story house and dropping things to see if they would break while filming it. (Like everything. TVs, dressers, old computer monitors) Note: If you think this sounds stupid, it really wasn't as dumb as what they eventually came up with, a little called, Will it hurt? Think volleyball spikes to the head, etc, Jackass type stuff.
Two years ago during exams, they decided to destroy a couple of old futons that they had lying around. The result is a 4 part Youtube video. Here are parts one and two. Is this art?

I think this is art because anything that we watch, feel, or simply take in is art. Anything that gives us a reason to not sit and stare blankly at a wall is art. Stimulation of existence....that's art.
I must say I found the initial double leap to break the futon very satisfying. I want to do that sometime. Yes, there is Juvenelia here, and there is nothing really beautiful to look at. Nonetheless, I like Katie's wording....."stimulation of existence." I'm definitely gonna use that again sometime.
