Art isn't about technical components or medium or genre or anything else like that. Art is about emotion. If it makes you react, and feel something, it's art. It needs some abstract element, something that is intended to be interpreted that has no functional goal separate from you the observer, but so long as it has that, and it makes you feel something, it's art.
If it's universally reviled, and that wasn't the intention, you could call it "bad art". But art nonetheless.
That said, "high art" is a little different. At minimum, it requires a high degree of abstraction. Lots of room for, and an ability to instigate, interpretation.
