That which has no artistic intent.
So that fountain you got there wasnt until duchamp "framed" it with his intent (which was a comment on a whore he knew).
>>54983603
the sub-headings will tell you the answer to your question
>>54983603
Anything can be art. Programming, by and large, is judged based on the merit of the output, and this can't be defined as art. For most, programming is a means to an end.
Although when I consider it further, programming is a language and languages can be art through poetry even though most people use it as a means to an end to convey their need and ideas. So by that analogy yes I suppose programming is an art but I have a difficult time seeing that with a strictly engineering lens.
>>54983603
It's Art about as much as it is engineering.

It's a craft. You can get creative with it much like someone can get creative with carpentry, and in a sense it can be art.
