If I made an "Art exhibition" in the Tate where I lay out some bullshit along with a sign which invites spectators to come into the bullshit and act silly, that would be considered High Art
If I did the same thing on Youtube it would be considered slop

The only difference is the veneer of legitimacy provided by a legacy institution, and when you understand that you realise that all modern art is an appeal to the authority of an ethereal concept of Art. A concept upheld up by the lingering reputations of a web of institutions which lay a claim to the word as if it were their intellectual property and prop up each other's legitimacy despite long having lost any of the objective talent or value which might have built that legitimacy
