Yep, let it speak for itself as they say.

No. It looks like random paint scattered. I see interesting patterns but I also see those in ceiling. No sign of an intelligent creator though.

The only way to judge art is how you perceive its expression. I agree about the circle triangle thing but I don't agree on the urinal or the squiggly line thing, and that's because I try to take them on a case-by-case basis rather than subjecting them to a rubric.

Who cares about an intelligent creator? The squiggly **** evokes expressiveness to me and that is worthwhile. There's something wrong-feeling with how it doesn't evoke anything intelligible. I don't even know if that's what the artist was going for but it still looks oddly hellish to me.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who said anything against the urinals and I'm more of a rap fan than anyone in this discussion.

It's not about technical skill me either

But it has to at least be interesting to look at
