It depends. I think what seperates art with non-art is creation and a sort of drive for impacting others positively and create something you are proud of.
Carpentry is absolutely art.
Stonework was traditionally art.
Metalwork and glasswork is an art.
Mechanical systems are also an art.
Good electronics design is an art.
Making actually good, useful software that people find great and user-friendly while being featureful is an art
Hell, electricians and plumbers who are passionate about their work (and not exploited) can leave behind absolute works of art that nobody will ever see.
Motivation, skill, and goals separate art from being slop work.
There is a ton of traditional “art” that is just profit-driven slop that isn’t art: see the entire art-to-money-laundering industry, Spotify AI music and a lot of generated non-composed shit, industrialized sculptures and decorations meant to be so generic they fit in every person’s house.
