Is it art?

John Cage is famous for his performance "4 min. 33sec." in which he walked into the stage and decorated it with absolute silence for 4 minute and 33 seconds. The piece is seen as challenging the very definition of music. The definition of art, however, is the process of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses of emotions(according to the Wikipedia). And from my point of view, John Cage's "4min. 33sec" is definitely a piece of art.Even though the piece has no particular rhythm or melody, and it cannot be precisely defined as music, it was a performance that consisted of the artist's intention to make the audience feel something through listening to the trifle noises.John Cage says that he spent many hours conducting performances of his silent pieces, and I strongly believe that his effort to appeal to the audience itself is a great work.Also, I believe that sometimes an accidental thing can end up as a beautiful artpiece. There are many examples that show the beauty of improvisation in art, including Action painting, and Chance music and so on. Therefore, although the durations were filled with unpredictable noises that came from the audience, "4min 33 sec" should be regarded as an artpiece.Cage wished the audience to listen to the sounds of themselves, and get fresh feelings from it. I'm sure he succeeded in doing so in the form of art. Thus, I believe his novel creativity should be acknowledged its artistic price.
