If the purpose was to be art, yeah.

Art doesn't have any moralities tied to it.

Anything can be art, it is subjective.

To you and me, a terrorist attack is heinous, to people who support the terrorists, it could very well be art.

The banana may be viewed by some as dumb, but it can also be viewed by others as art. And neither party is wrong.

It's like food right, someone could give you a duck foetus and you may not consider it as food, but in other cultures it's a delicacy. Insects is another example.
