Not much to discuss since I agree ;-)

"Intent" includes other less abstract descriptions as "communication
of perspective" etc. I mean, even if no one understands a piece of art
it still is art.

A related thought:
At the SC live looping festival last week Singapore musician Randolf
Arriola reminded us in a discussion about the three aspects that are
evident in public performance: entertainment value, musical value and
art value. The understatement in that discussion was that many live
looping artist focus mainly on music and art factors when putting on a
show.
